Urknall

*ATTENTION* The event will take place in the circus tent on the Neckarwiese.

Sometime - it feels like a long time ago - the "Big Bang" at the Kulturfenster was the place for new discoveries in poetry and cabaret. Now, a pandemic later, it returns to the Kulturfenster tent festival on the Neckarwiese, with a slightly different format, but still with a spectacular program. Let's look forward to a big bang of word art, bitterly wicked comedy and music!

Florian Wintels / Texts & Music Florian Wintels is one of the most charming, versatile and successful stage protagonists on the German-language slam scene. His spectacular poems combine high-speed lyricism, plenty of humor and profundity, so much so that ARD once called him a "rapping slam machine". He has already won several hundred poetry slams, including being crowned state champion for Lower Saxony and Bremen three times and was crowned German-speaking champion in Vienna in 2022. However, the fact that he is no less a highly talented singer and guitarist, who has a lot to say, sneaks into the hearts of all poetry fans from behind the scenes in a rather relaxed manner. 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.

Salma mitSahne / Music Salma mit Sahne has been touring solo and with a band since 2018. She has played numerous concerts throughout Germany, including support for Dota Kehr and Götz Widmann. In 2019, she released her debut EP "Salma mit Sahne": "Very successful, lively, swinging, surprising, a little absurd ... bravo.", said "Bremen zwei" presenter Wolfgang Rumpf about the first EP. Salma mit Sahne is a lively experience that inspires and connects people: "With a powerful voice and sparkling guitar playing, the singer's German and English-language compositions evoke the emotions of her audience." (Der Nordschleswiger, 2023) Salma mit Sahne touches with the coolness factor of a chameleon and explodes directly into the heart and head. Anyone who experiences Salma mit Sahne live will become addicted to her energy and charm. In short: chameleon folk-pop that embraces and captivates the audience with its open nature.

Andy Strauss / Performance In the business for almost twenty years, he has earned himself a superstar status in the underground, which he himself consistently rejects. With a pleasant attitude of refusal, he always takes the path that seems least conducive to his career, refusing to appear on television and preferring to stage plays at rave events. In his latest program "Inhalte hinhalten", he dissects German society with sharp humour - sometimes with a very fine scalpel, sometimes directly with a chainsaw. The audience can expect a crude mixture of literary excesses, stand-up comedy, improvisation and lots of content, which he presents in an inimitable way. An evening with Andy Strauss is more than just a show - it's an experience that lasts a long time. And it shoots. Yes, it also shoots. That's important to know.
