An evening between stage, language, and audience energy
The rules of the poetry slam are clear: six minutes, self-written texts, no props. This creates the tension that has made the format so attractive for years. Those who perform here rely on rhythm, presence, and narrative condensation. The audience ultimately chooses the winner of the evening. The literary quality arises from the immediacy of the presentation and the originality of the texts.

Ruhrort as a literary resonance space
Das PLUS at Neumarkt is regarded as a creative anchor point in the port district of Ruhrort. The place combines exhibitions, artists' shops, and events into an open cultural space, where readings, conversations, and encounters are closely intertwined. This mixture is what makes the evening appealing: No distant high culture, but an urban literary experience with direct energy and palpable closeness to the scene.
