Poetry Slam
with the Kiezpoeten
There are countless classic venues for cultural events, but what appeals to us is the best stage design that Berlin has to offer. Namely, Berlin itself. Using what is there, showing what is beautiful.
In 2020, when culture was devastated by the pandemic, we looked for new ways – outside and at a distance – to present poetry and comedy.
This is how Slam To Go was born. A cultural walk with wireless headphones, a moderator and up to three rounds of poetry slam each in front of impressive backdrops.
The steps of historic buildings were used as seating areas, as was the lawn in front of the Reichstag. Improvisation was the order of the day.
What was born out of necessity has now developed into a long-running success.
Talented and carefully selected poets in an unusually personal show.
Lyrical poetry. Hilarious raps. Impressive performances.
Their voices right in your ears.
With carefully selected poets and entertaining hosts, the episode is now entering its third year.

The Poetry Slam To Go.
The Kiezpoeten, a collective of organizers, spoken word artists and workshop leaders from the German capital.
The important thing is individuality. In other words: They especially support spoken word artists who have something to say, an idiosyncratic style and of course: personality.
They also welcome newcomers to the poetry scene.
