Gretchen Slam

The biggest poetry slam in Kreuzberg! Next to a garage, behind a former petrol station, you will find the inconspicuous entrance to Club Gretchen. Here, in one of the most beautiful dance venues in the capital, poetry slam is back the way it was when it still had to be explained.before it moved into the country's theatres and cultural venues as a chic best-of variant. Rough, edgy, in a club atmosphere and always with that certain freak factor!

At the Gretchen Slam, the best poetry slammers in the country compete against the Open List. And open list means something else here: you can only register for a 6-minute slot at the box office. If there are more than 3 registrations, there will be a draw – regardless of whether you are super famous and want to try out new material or have never been on stage before.

There's room for quiet poetry, loud entertainment, angry social criticism & banging comedy. Whether you're the weirdo lyricist next door or the next big thing. Or just want to get something off your chest. Clear the stage for the Gretchen Slam!

Presented by the Kiezpoeten.

Note: The last tickets are available at the box office for 12€. There are no group tickets available at the box office.
