About
Slam-Poetry takes the street by storm in a unique and vibrant journey!
The two slam collectives of Winnipeg—Winnipeg Slam (Anglophone) and Manitobamo (Francophone) — unite their voices, their words and their universes to offer a poetic rally that is bilingual, lively, engaged and surprising.
From station to station, let yourself be carried by night performances that will resonate in the city, between rhythms and words, cries and silences.
The route will start at La Fourche, in front of Travel Manitoba, and end on the Pont Provencher, near the tourist kiosk. Each stage will be an opportunity to discover an original performance, in French, in English, or both.
Come and live a unique artistic experience where poetry walks, lives, is listened to in the open air and beats in hearts as in the streets.
