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.

Hörspielslam to go @ Gärten der Welt
International garden art meets poetry slam.
A magical place between the Renaissance and Korean gardens, oriental courtyards and the skyline of Marzahn's prefabricated tower blocks on the horizon.
During a wonderful walk, we offer poetry slam and comedy as a unique “radio play slam to go” - spoken live by the artists of the Berliner Kiezpoeten: The headphones are additionally enriched with sound effects and background noise to match the text - just like in a radio play.
It's like being in the middle of the stories while strolling through the gardens.
With a maximum of 40 guests, the “Hörspiel Slam To Go” is one of the most intimate live readings in the city: you rarely get this close to the artists. A bit of a live radio play, a bit of a poetry slam, a bit of a guided Sunday excursion through the gardens. The perfect afternoon activity.
And, of course, admission to the Gardens of the World is included.
The park can be explored further after the tour.
It's best to quickly secure a ticket in advance for one of the few places.
Please note: this tour is not recommended for people with limited mobility.

Slam to Ride @ Tegeler Stadtheide
The latest collaboration between silent.move and the Kiezpoeten. More information and tickets will follow shortly!
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.
