Poetry Slam at Audimax: The 21st Bielefeld Auditorium Slam makes language shine
On Thursday, October 29, 2026, the Audimax at Bielefeld University transforms into a stage for pointed texts, personal stories, and creative word art. The 21st Bielefeld Auditorium Slam features six award-winning poets from the German-speaking region. Admission is free.
Six voices, six perspectives, one shared stage evening
Yannik Ambrusits, Mona Harry, Julius Keinath, Selina Seemann, Jann Wattjes, and Jana Goller bring different styles, narratives, and themes to the auditorium. Poetry Slam thrives on this diversity: Between linguistic wit, everyday philosophy, social observation, and personal narratives, a literary experience emerges that works directly from the moment.
The linguistic artistry is as much in focus as the performative presence. Rhythm, voice, pauses, and punchlines shape a reading atmosphere in which texts are not only heard but experienced together with the audience. The Audimax provides a unique resonance space for the contributions and connects the academic environment with a vibrant stage culture.
Moderation with a sense for tempo and nuances
The evening is moderated by Jason Bartsch. His role goes beyond announcing individual performances: The moderation navigates through the dramatic arc of the competition, creates transitions, and keeps the tension alive between the contributions. Thus, a coherent evening full of linguistic energy emerges from individual slam texts.
An established meeting point for the Bielefeld slam scene
The Bielefeld Auditorium Slam has established itself as a regular cult event at the university. Creative word acrobatics, curious stories, and societal perspectives meet an attentive audience here. The competitive element is part of the format: The reactions of the spectators help determine which contributions resonate particularly.
Especially the combination of university, auditorium, and poetry slam makes the evening culturally interesting. The format opens literary contemporary culture to a broad audience and shows how versatile a reading can be when text, voice, space, and immediate encounter come together.
Conclusion: A free evening for everyone who wants to experience language live
The 21st Bielefeld Auditorium Slam promises an energetic author encounter with six award-winning poets, moderated by Jason Bartsch and complemented by the special Luna and the Fathers. Doors open at 7:30 PM, and the event begins at 8:00 PM. Anyone who wants to experience poetry slam in its immediate, surprising, and audience-friendly form will find an open cultural evening at the Audimax with free admission.
