"A great competition between modern poets."
(General-Anzeiger)

"Eloquent, imaginative and politically sharp (...) high-quality competition"
(Bonner Rundschau)

The RAUS MIT DER SPRACHE poetry slam brings together the best that the German-language slam scene has to offer (and will have to offer) for a lyrical showdown. In order to inspire the audience, only self-written texts are permitted. You decide who leaves the stage as the winner: the audience!

Whether personal, political, silly, emotional, poetic, prosaic, funny, touchingly honest, wonderfully absurd, ... - whatever conforms to the rules, i.e. is self-written and fits within the time limit, is allowed. The audience decides the winner of the evening - as a rule, everyone wins something, even if it's just that one sentence that expresses exactly what you've always thought!

Line-up (not yet complete):
Uli Höhmann and Jan Cönig from Frankfurt/Main,
Leon Hanke from Essen and Lenny Felling from Mainz.
Featured artist: Jens Eike Krüger from Cologne.
The evening will be hosted by: Anna Lisa Azur
