We celebrate the anniversary of a format that we, as well as the participating writers and our audience, love: The »Slam Symphony« returns for the 10th time – and the composition it revolves around this season is ideally suited to creative imagination of the word acrobats: Under the baton of Taichi Fukumura, who came second in our Mahler Competition in 2023, we delve into the Nordic world – which is characterised by stories from times long forgotten, poems and ballads as well as mythical figures. Edvard Grieg loved the country of the fjords and often worked obsessively in ivy-covered huts such as his lonely summer house »Troldhaugen«, which translates as »Hill of the Trolls«. The music to »Peer Gynt« is his signature work – based on Henrik Ibsen’s dramatic model, which he created with the help of Norwegian fairy tales: a story about a dreamer who uses fantastical tall tales to avoid reality and only realises late in life that only love will save him. Grieg’s setting describes this path of the »Faust of the North« with musical images of wild, romantic fantasticism. We can truly look forward to seeing how our award-winning poetry slammers put these stories into text.  The day before, schoolchildren will be able to enjoy this musical programme, presented by Marko Simsa.
