It leads up to the poetry slam «Verschenkt» on 27 November 2026 at the Schenkhaus, curated by Vera Rieger and Benjamin Graf, where an established slammer and a newbie perform as a team. Poetry slam has brought self-written texts to the stage since the 1980s, traditionally for a bottle of whisky — here a different small prize is offered instead.
