Impressions
Festival für junge Sprachkunst und Poetry-Slam | 20. Feb. – 22. Feb. 2026
Poetry, rap, beatboxing & dance
21 February 2026, 8 p.m., venue: Podewil (home of the GRIPS Theatre)
Wortsport 26 turns up the volume. No breaks, no downtime. Words, beats, bodies – everything in motion.
Yasmo from Vienna: rap with attitude. Crystal clear, pointed, straight to the eardrums. Florian Bilbao from Berlin: dance that ignores the rules. Body logic on turbo. King ExXx a.k.a. Eyüp Krüger: beatbox pro, beat magician, primary school teacher with superpowers. Also featuring: newcomer talents from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and South Tyrol.
Poetry meets rap. Rap meets beatbox. Beatbox meets dance.
An evening full of rhythmic bursts, lyrical sparks, breath storms.
Art forms that crash into each other. And then fly on together.
Typical Berlin: raw, real, unpolished.
Typical word sport: surprising, energetic, boundless.
For everyone who wants to feel beatboxing through their chest.
How dance cuts through the air.
How spoken word becomes electric.
In short: stage on, head off, vibe on.
