An evening that brings language, pain, and hope into intense stage light

On September 23, 2026, a poetry slam will be held in Freiburg, approaching the great existential questions with literary openness: illness, death, life, and grief. The evening combines spoken words, music, and the immediate presence of the stage into a literary experience that touches, resonates, and invites further contemplation.

Poetry Slam as a Space for the Unspeakable

When people speak with their own texts about farewell, loss, and dignity, the atmosphere of the reading gains a rare density. The event focuses not on distanced analysis, but on linguistic artistry, authenticity, and the power of personal narratives. This cultural tension defines the evening: the private becomes public, the unspeakable takes shape.

Between Depth and Lightness

The announced tone is deliberately multi-layered: entertaining, profound, and humorous. This mix gives the format its particular literary quality. Those familiar with poetry slam know the interplay of rhythm, voice, emphasis, and emotional precision. With musical moments, an atmosphere unfolds in which the spoken word resonates and holds its place in the space.

Moderation, Participants, and Framework

The evening will be led by Ansgar Hufnagel, accompanied by Antonia Prasser, Dominik Heissler, and other contributors. The start is at 8:00 PM, with doors opening at 7:30 PM, and the participation offered on a donation basis makes the format accessible and special at the same time. The event is barrier-free and limited to a maximum of 75 people, giving the encounters an intimate, almost chamber-like closeness.

A Place for Quiet Intensity

The theater bar of the Theater Freiburg provides the suitable setting for this evening: a place where culture feels approachable rather than monumental. For a program about illness, dying, and grief, this environment is fitting as it emphasizes listening. The poetry slam here becomes a space for literary resonance and for a broader author encounter: people share experiences, words become stances.

Conclusion: “(K)ein Sterbenswörtchen?” promises an evening between linguistic art, empathy, and lively stage energy. Those who understand literature as an experience should experience this event live: as an invitation to listen, reflect, and empathize.
