Slam - Rising Sun
Overview
Intro
A workshop and a slam stage dedicated to Japan—a country people dream of, have visited, or admire.
A workshop and a slam stage dedicated to Japan—a country people dream of, have visited, or admire. The home of manga, anime, ninjas, samurai, geishas, sumo wrestlers, hot springs, the tea ceremony, Noh theater, Shinto, the Shinkansen, sushi, karate, Pokémon, kawaii, cosplay, Nintendo, J-Pop, the Monkey Mountains, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, and Mount Fuji. Let’s travel together from Tokyo to Kyoto, from Osaka to Hiroshima, via Okinawa. Let’s summon the spirits of Emperor Naruhito, Miyazaki, Kurosawa, Matsuo Bashō, Yasuke, Mr. Miyagi, and even Sailor Moon. Or let’s simply refer to the awakening of the fiery star. Between the two parts of the open mic, there will be a haiku tournament—these short, originally Japanese poems consisting of three lines of five, seven, and five syllables. You’ll need at least ten of them to participate in the tournament.
Pablo Michellod—aka Pablito, aka L’Indomptable—is a leading figure in the Swiss and international slam poetry scene, having been active in slam since 2006. It was during the 24h Slam in Liège, Belgium, in 2011, that he discovered haiku tournaments. He has written more than 200 of them. He has won the Lausanne Haiku Tournament three times, as well as the Crassier Haiku Tournament. His slam poems are studied in schools.
