Object karaoke – The thing from the depot

Object karaoke with exhibits from the Radolfzell City Museum.
Moderation: Johannes Elster

In the museum, we marvel at exhibits that bear witness to times long past, foreign cultures, artistic genius or simply good curation. We are normally denied a look behind the scenes, into the storerooms and into the depot of the Radolfzell City Museum. At Object Karaoke, improv artists present objects from the Radolfzell City Museum that they are seeing on stage for the first time. They are given a new object every 90 seconds for six minutes and have to present it to the audience as originally as possible. After each presentation, the museum explains the real history of the object to the audience.

It is up to the audience to decide by the volume of applause who makes it to the final and wins the first object karaoke in Radolfzell.

Dead or Alive Poetry Slam

SOLD OUT

The “Dead or Alive” format is quite rightly regarded as the supreme discipline of the poetry slam. Actors and actresses slip into the roles of deceased writers and bring their texts, thoughts and voices back to life. They then compete against some of the strongest poetry slammers in the German-speaking world, who take to the stage with their own contemporary texts. In this way, the past and present of literature meet in a direct and often surprising way: Do the works of great writers from beyond the grave – such as Joseph Victor von Scheffel or other classics – still stand a chance against the powerful, political, humorous or deeply personal texts of today’s stage poetry? Or will they be mercilessly sent back into the literary afterlife by the audience? In the end, only the audience will decide which voice wins out – that of the “dead” or that of the “living”.

On stage that evening will be

Presenter: Marvin Suckut
Suckut has been performing on poetry slam stages in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for many years and is known for his trenchant humor, linguistic precision and close proximity to the audience. As a presenter, he combines literary knowledge with quick-witted entertainment: he explains, classifies, reacts spontaneously to what is happening on stage and ensures that both newcomers and die-hard slam fans feel equally addressed. Especially in a format like “Dead or Alive”, where theater, literature and slam meet, his experience is a decisive factor for the rhythm and atmosphere of the evening.

Wehwalt Koslovsky (Husum)
Some call him a “legend”, others the
“wet dream of the educated middle classes” or even the “Mozart of the poetry
slam”. And still others call him a “slam veteran”. It all sounds
great. It’s all nonsense. And the truth, as is so often the case, lies somewhere
in between.
What is certain is that the
stage poet from Düsseldorf, who is now stranded on the North Sea, has exemplified the poetry slam in the German-speaking world
like no other for 30 years. Who knows, maybe he will even outlive it. Either way
– with or without slam: his texts and performances are
as unique as Fabergé eggs. And anyone who has ever experienced him on stage, in
his element, will probably never forget him.

Ramon Schmid (Stuttgart)
Is very much at home in pop culture, both in an educational and artistic context through spoken word, performance theater, hip hop and beatbox in contemporary art. He studied spoken word (B.A.) and rhetoric (M.A.) at the HMDK Stuttgart. Since then, this combination of classical recitation and modern forms of speech art has been the core of his artistic existence. As “Txtmarker”, he also searches for the musical nuances of rap and spoken word. Ramon Schmid writes commissioned texts, stages, conceives and performs shows. He hosts slam events and also works in the fields of creative writing, acting and rhetorical communication. He was part of the permanent speech ensemble of the Akademie für gesprochenes Wort Stuttgart in 2020-2024 and teaches at several drama schools.

Nora Solcher (Frankfurt)
Nora Solcher is a trained actress who works freelance in theater, film and radio. She has been writing texts for theater & poetry slam stages since 2015. First Hamburg, then Hesse. Back at the slam for 3 years. With humorous, politically poetic prose.

Florian Wintels (Bad Bentheim)
Florian Wintels is one of the most charming, versatile and successful stage protagonists on the German-speaking slam scene. Some people may even know that. However, the fact that the man who won the German-language championships in 2022 is a no less highly talented singer and guitarist who has a lot to say is something that sneaks into the consciousness of all poetry fans in a rather relaxed manner. A circumstance that Wintels knows how to change in an extremely relaxed manner and is meanwhile confidently and no less mischievously preparing to stir up the German singer/songwriter and singer-songwriter scene step by step, from Funny van Dannen to Götz Widmann. With wit, subtlety, plenty of bitter humor and abysmal mother-in-law charm. In short: this young man puts a Flori in your ear with his lyrics and songs. Hahaha.

Gina Walter (Basel)Gina Walter, born and raised in the beautiful Basel region (CH), has been making the Swiss slam poetry stages unsafe since 2015. She proudly held the title of “U20 Swiss Champion 2017” for a year and then really took off with it. She has since traveled to various places as a poet and presenter and has already been a semi-finalist at two German-speaking championships (Zurich 2018, Vienna 2022) and a presenter at two others (Bochum 2023, Bielefeld 2024).

Viktoria-Anna Theil (Stuttgart)
Viktoria-Anna Theil was born in Nuremberg in 1995. After her first acting stints in Bochum and Berlin, her path led her to the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart, where she graduated in 2025 with a degree in speech art and speech training. Since then, she has moved between stage and microphone as a speaker and artist, working both in independent ensembles and in collaboration with various institutions – including SWR, the Literaturhaus Stuttgart and literary festivals.
