Poetry Slams
La Ninkasi
A fun part in poetry! The poetry slam is not based on competition except for the pleasure of the audience, who are sovereign: the match takes place on stage, but it is in the hall that its outcome is determined. The ultimate goal of slam? That poetry meets and impacts its audience. A slam evening brings together six to twelve poets and unfolds over two rounds. Five people chosen randomly from the audience make up the jury who decide the scores throughout the match. At the end of the two rounds, the poet who has reached the highest score wins the match. After the regular season of poetry slams, come the playoffs which will allow the four poets to represent the Quebec City region at the Grand Slam (provincial final) of the Ligue québécoise de slam (LiQS). Poetry slams are presented by Slam Cap and the Tremplin d’actualisation de poésie.
