In the organizer's words:

Clear the stage for the perfect crime - or just a damn good story? At the True Crime Slam, spoken word artists from the Berlin poetry slam scene present real crime cases and fictional thrillers - but who is telling the truth? The audience decides!

Real cases meet invented crimes: true cases versus blood-soaked fantasy. Suspense is in the air, drifting through the room like cold smoke, giving goose bumps to bare skin and causing black laughter where it actually hurts. Fact and fiction engage in a merciless duel - every detail an argument, every punchline a sting - and in the end it is not the law that decides, but the judgment of the audience. Don't worry: the audience is not left alone in this responsible task. Crime experts integrated into the show provide advice and support.
