Hamburg vs. Berlin - Poetry Slam Städtebattle

In the organizer's words:

For years, people have been debating: "Is Hamburg the poetry slam capital or Berlin?"

It is Hamburg. But Berlin keeps trying to dispute our title. And that's why there's the annual Poetry Slam City Battle, in which the best poets from Hamburg compete against their colleagues from Berlin to settle the matter once and for all!

Where are the better texts written? On the Elbe or on the city highway? It's fish sandwiches versus veggie kebabs, Berghain versus Uebel & Gefährlich, Astra versus Sterni. This is where Berliner Schnauze meets Hamburger Schnack, Nordic dry storytelling meets Berlin hipster lyricism.

To calm the waves, so that the slammers don't hurt each other physically but only verbally, we soothe the heated tempers with a little fantastic music.

When it comes to this decades-long battle, it's clear - this will once again be one of the poetry slam shows of the year. Let's write stories and may the better city win!
