🫖🗣️ Poet-tea: The Lyric Parlour

🕯️ An intimate Sunday afternoon of eloquence, tea, and rhythm in the Dada atmosphere.

Join us for a gentle and inspiring spoken word and reading session at the legendary Cabaret Voltaire — the historic birthplace of the Dada movement, nestled in Zurich’s Old Town.

📚 We will gather in the quiet library on the second floor to explore the power of the human voice. This is not a competition, nor an open mic with stage pressure. It is a shared sanctuary to explore voice, language, and presence.

🎶 In a supportive atmosphere, we will discover the alchemy of our voices:

• We will select and read poetic texts together.
• We’ll experiment with intonation, rhythm, pauses, and emotions.
• We’ll explore how a text transforms depending on how it is spoken.

🗣️ If you wish, you are warmly invited to bring your own text to read or declaim for the group.

No need to be a performer.
No need to be a native speaker. Curiosity and openness are all that’s required.

🪑 Whether you love poetry, theatre, or spoken word — or simply want to gain confidence using your voice in English — you have a seat at our table.

Come speak where history was made!

🍷 Let’s gather and create an eloquent community for an afternoon.

As a thank you to our hosts, please support the venue by ordering a drink.
