Schnickschnack Poetry Slam

In the organizer's words:

Schnickschnack Poetry Slam // 05.06. - 19.30 // Theatermuseum Düsseldorf // VVK 7 EUR (ends 1 hour before the event starts - after that there is a Box Office > B.O. 10 EUR)

Düsseldorf's youngest poetry slam found a home at the Theatermuseum almost 2.5 years ago and takes place there regularly every 1st Thursday of the month - and now it has a second parent!

From now on, the Poetry Slam at the Theatermuseum will be jointly organized by Freundeskreis TMD and Musenkollektiv, so that we can make the show even more beautiful and with an energetic view of the future.

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.

For our small "reopening" in June, we have invited an absolutely awesome line-up! You can look forward to:

Dilara Yüksek - reigning NRW champion

Julius Esser - multiple NRW finalist

Valo Christiansen - "5 to Watch" award winner

Björn Rosenbaum - record holder for NRW finals

Buddy Tobias - eloquent newcomer from the region

Morgaine Prinz and Paula Höll will host the evening in their usual lovingly chaotic manner!

[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 and Lektora Verlag].
