🫖🗣️ Poet-tea: the Lyric Parlour

🎙️☕ The Unsung Lyrics

An intimate Sunday afternoon of rhythm, emotion, and the hidden poetry of song.

Join us for a unique Spoken Word session at the legendary Cabaret Voltaire — the historic birthplace of Dada, where words have always been a form of freedom and art.

📚 During this spoken word session, we will move away from the melody to focus on the power of the written word. We will explore iconic song lyrics not as music, but as potent dramatic texts. Behind every great anthem or ballad lies a poem waiting to be spoken.

🎶 In a supportive and calm atmosphere, we will:

• Strip away the music: Select powerful song lyrics and rediscover them through the spoken voice.
• Find the "flow": Experiment with pauses, breath, and cadence to give the words a new life.
• Embody the emotion: Explore how a verse transforms when it is declaimed with intention, from a whisper to a proclamation.

🗣️ Bring your own "Poem-Song":

You are warmly invited to bring the lyrics of a song that moves you. We will work together on how to speak these words, finding the rhythm that belongs only to you.

No singing. No stage pressure. No need to be a performer. Whether you are a music lover, a theatre enthusiast, or simply curious about the strength of your own voice, there is a seat for you at our table in the Dada Library.

🍷 As a thank you to our hosts, please support the venue by ordering at least one drink at the bar.

See you soon!
