U18 Poetry Slam celebrated its premiere last autumn with a firework of words in Speyer. The intensive workshop work of the last months is bearing fruit and the participants are crowding the stage. Young authors enter the competition of words and put themselves and their texts to the audience's vote. Deeply sad love lyrics and sarcastic social criticism alternate with profound raps and lively short stories. All that is allowed in the poetry slam is anything that lasts no longer than six minutes. The participants do not use any props or music. The audience is the jury. On your marks, get set - WORD UP!
