112. Schwabinger Poetry Slam: Language Art, Competition, and Lively Stage Energy
On Monday, October 5, 2026, the Munich Lustspielhaus will transform into a resonance space for current poetry slam culture. In the 112th Schwabinger Poetry Slam, stars of the German-speaking scene will compete against each other with new texts, pointed observations, and performative language art.
Literature in the Moment
Poetry slam combines literary quality with immediate stage presence. Political thoughts meet lyrical images, comedic miniatures meet personal confessions, societal discourse meets the rhythm of spoken language. Each performance emerges from the interplay of text, voice, and audience.
A Unique Literary Experience
The Schwabinger Poetry Slam stands for an evening full of contrasts: current, political, funny, lyrical, heartwarming, weird, and surprising. The reading atmosphere thrives on direct author engagement and the audience's reaction, which immediately accompanies the impact of the texts.
Moderation with Scene Experience
The evening will be guided by poet and podcaster Lena Krebs and the German-speaking vice-champion in poetry slam, Meike Harms. The performing artists will be announced later. This keeps the competition open for the spontaneous literary tension that characterizes the genre.
Literary Stage at Lustspielhaus
The Lustspielhaus at Occamstraße 8 provides the perfect setting for this intimate yet energetic literary event. Doors open at 6:00 PM, and the poetry slam begins at 8:00 PM. Seat reservations are available for groups of ten or more. The catering services offer drinks as well as hot and cold food.
Conclusion: Experience Poetry Slam Live
The 112th Schwabinger Poetry Slam promises an evening where language is not just read but spoken, performed, and experienced together. Literature enthusiasts can expect a multifaceted competition with surprising voices, pointed texts, and immediate stage energy. Admission costs 19 euros. Those who want to experience poetry slam as living contemporary literature will find one of Munich's distinctive stages at the Lustspielhaus.
