Poetry Slam – Dead & Alive

In this curious battle of words, the vibrant poetry slam scene goes head-to-head with its historical pioneers and role models—in short, their departed colleagues. They are ready to prove themselves once again and, above all, win over the audience: writing clever, funny, thrilling, spot-on, poignant, emotional, socially relevant, cynical yet hopeful, literary, thought-provoking, and above all, precisely timed three-minute texts—they still do that today, only better.

Yet who can resurrect the legends on stage with greater style? Who can unfailingly ignite the rhythmic linguistic fireworks of any era? Who plays with stylistic devices and reveals unexpected layers between the lines? "Whatever they can do, we can match," our theatre thinks, gathering its ensemble. Naturally, we accept the challenge!
Because in the end, it is still our audience that decides who deserves the honor of the applause.
 
The "Dead and Alive" poetry slam evening is an entertaining provocation that inspires engagement with classical and contemporary poetry. Come, see, hear, and feel everything that the art of language has to offer.
