The grand preliminary round of the biggest poetry slam state championship of all time!
Poets qualified over a year – 72 made it to the finals. neanderlandTwelve teams have now reached the spectacular preliminary round in Hilden. They've secured the NRW championship; now it's all or nothing. They need to show their skills, thrill the audience, and secure their place in the semifinals!
You couldn't enjoy a show in a more comfortable setting. The plush seats of the historic Lux Cinema invite you to linger without losing the atmosphere. Whether it's comedy shows or poetry slams, the audience appreciates this unique ambiance and always greets performers with enthusiastic applause. Here, it's not just fun to watch cultural events, it's fun to perform too!
The North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) Poetry Slam Championships are taking place this year in our district of Mettmann. This hottest stage format features only the best slam poets from the wonderful state of North Rhine-Westphalia! In the broad spectrum between poetry, comedy, cabaret, and prose, a scene has developed where established stars create internet sensations, are TV personalities, and at the same time, hungry newcomers constantly surprise and delight – all on one shared stage. Once a hidden gem, this format has long since earned a reputation: Poetry Slam is a party, Poetry Slam is emotion, Poetry Slam is always absolutely unique. Here, the sheer power of words and performance ecstasy will knock you off your feet; lyrical volleys will blast into your memory like a comet, and sore laughing muscles are guaranteed. And that's not all: since 2016, these modern poetry competitions have been officially recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
