Slam Poetry Show

About

Slam Poetry Show is a live performance format featuring top Czech slam poets from the Slam Poetry CZ platform, active since 2003. A trio or quartet of performers tours the country on demand, presenting poetry as an interactive theatrical show - audiences score, engage and feed energy back to the stage, with facial expression, movement and rhythm all in play. In April 2024, platform founder and producer Tomáš T. Kůs received the Magnesia Litera Award for Outstanding Contribution to Book Culture, recognising two decades of building the genre and its community. The Czech slam scene is now considered one of the largest and most respected in Europe.
