Slam – Rising Sun

Description

A workshop and a slam stage entirely dedicated to Japan – a country of dreams, visits, and admiration. The homeland of mangas, animes, ninjas, samurai, geishas, sumotori, hot springs, tea ceremonies, Nō theater, Shintō, Shinkansen, sushi, karate, Pokémon, Kawaii, cosplay, Nintendo, J-Pop, monkey mountains, the Great Wave of Kanagawa, and Fuji. Let’s travel together from Tokyo to Kyoto, from Osaka to Hiroshima, and across Okinawa. Let’s invoke the spirits of Emperor Naruhito, Miyazaki, Kurosawa, Bashō Matsuo, Yasuke, Mr. Miyagi, or Sailor Moon. Or simply refer to the awakening of the fire star. Between the two parts of the free stage, there will be a haiku competition – these small, originally Japanese poems consisting of three lines with five, seven, and five syllables. You need at least a dozen to participate in the competition. Pablo Michellod alias Pablito alias L’Indomptable is an indispensable slam poet of the Swiss and international art scene, active in slam since 2006. In 2011, during the “24h Slam” in Liège, Belgium, he discovered haiku tournaments. He has written more than 200 of them. He won the Lausanne Haiku Tournament three times and the Crassier Haiku Tournament. His slam texts are studied in schools.
