Schnickschnack Poetry Slam

In the organizer's words:

Düsseldorf's youngest poetry slam takes place every 1st Thursday of the month at the Theatermuseum. Before the Schnickschnack Slam comes to the Goethemuseum in June for the Lovebird Festival, we'll see you again in May for our classic format in the wonderful Pink Palace!

Awaiting you on stage:

Evelyn Jolie - NRW championship finalist 2025

Malte Küppers - comedian and scene star

Bella - newcomer from Kassel

Leon Hanke - lyricist and author

What kind of show is it actually? A poetry slam is a modern poetry competition which, despite its Unesco World Heritage status, follows very simple rules: Self-written texts are performed on stage without props or music and the audience decides who wins the evening.

What the artists bring to the stage is entirely up to them. So it can be crackingly funny or magically tender, political or funny or serious... or all of the above. Whether poetry, prose or somewhere in between, everything is allowed at a poetry slam.

[The Schnickschnack Slam is organized by the Musenkollektiv - an association of regional artists with a queerfeminist background - and the Freundeskreis des Theatermuseums Düsseldorf, with the kind support of the Theatermuseum Düsseldorf].
