ISAR SLAM: Munich's stage for vibrant word art
On Monday, October 19, 2026, the Ampere in Muffatwerk transforms into a resonance space for modern stage poetry. The ISAR SLAM brings together strong voices from the German-speaking poetry slam scene and combines literary quality with immediate audience energy.
Between language art and competition
Poetry Slam thrives on the tension between focused performance and spontaneous reaction. Rhymed texts meet narrative miniatures, serious observations meet pointed humor. Each performance develops its own pace, its own timbre, and its own relationship with the audience.
The evening is moderated by Ko Bylanzky and Pierre Jarawan. Both have shaped the Munich slam scene for years and guide the competition with a keen sense of rhythm, punchline, and literary context.
A stage for established voices and new perspectives
The ISAR SLAM gathers some of the most interesting poets from the German-speaking scene. In attendance are Evgenia Kosov from Bochum, Emil Kaschka from Vienna, the reigning Poetry Slam vice world champion, Julius Althoetmar from Munich, multiple Bavarian slam champion, Meike Harms from Gilching, Bavarian champion of 2014 and Munich city champion of 2019, as well as Chiara Martin, finalist of the U20 Bavaria Slam.
The mix of competition, literary performance, and direct audience engagement makes the evening a special cultural experience. The texts are not created in a quiet reading room, but in a lively dialogue with space, voice, and reaction.
Reading atmosphere in Ampere
The Ampere in Muffatwerk is located on the Isar in the Munich district of Haidhausen. The club atmosphere of the venue creates an immediate framework for the authors: language is at the center, accompanied by focused listening, spontaneous laughter, and the applause of the audience.
Doors open at 7 PM, the event starts at 8 PM. The evening is expected to last until 11 PM, providing space for several performances, changing tones, and the characteristic dynamics of a poetry slam competition.
Conclusion: Literature that arises in the moment
The ISAR SLAM is a literary experience for all who want to not only read language but experience it live. Between poetry, storytelling, satire, and social observation, a high immediacy author encounter is created. Those who want to discover the diversity of modern stage poetry will experience an evening full of word art, energy, and surprising perspectives in the Ampere.
