For the sixth time, slam poets will meet for the popular KULTURBÄRG Poetry Slam at the World Nature Forum (WNF) in Naters. Under the direction of experienced poet and presenter Pesche Heiniger, the poetry competition will take place in three rounds. The audience decides who receives the winning whiskey. The poets write a new text of their own especially for this event on the given theme of "noise". Exciting and surprising performances are guaranteed.

1 Peter Heiniger
Pesche Heiniger has been part of the KULTURBÄRG slam since the beginning. The Oberfrittenbach slam poet and spoken word performer is our mountain guide to the slam summit at the World Nature Forum for the 6th time. Pesche Heiniger is the winner of the Olten Kabaratt Casting 2024. His collection of columns "Gerechtigkeit und warme Füsse" was published in 2023. He is currently on the road with his first full-length solo program "drus u dänne" on cabaret stages. Pesche Heiniger lives and writes in the Emmental.


2 Marco Gurtner
Marco Gurtner is a spoken word artist, podcaster, presenter and musician. He has been performing regularly at poetry slams in German-speaking countries since 2012 and was Swiss champion in the individual category in 2019. He also won the u20 Swiss champion title in 2013. Marco Gurtner performs as a solo artist and as part of the group "Thun ist Nirgends" in a wide variety of stage formats. He also presents his two weekly podcasts, "Übertribe mit Stiu" (since 2017) and "Herrgöttli Panaschiert" (since 2020), as live shows on the stages of German-speaking Switzerland. Since 2021, the TV show "Schweiz Vereint" has appeared on the regional channels of CHMedia, in which he and Nico Franzoni throw themselves into Swiss club life.


3 Fine Degen
Fine has been performing in numerous spoken word productions in German-speaking countries since 2017. In spring 2022, she became the u22 Swiss Poetry Slam Champion in Bern and in fall 2022 she was a double finalist at the international German-speaking championships in St. Gallen and Vienna. In fall 2023, her first publication is published by Knapp Verlag in the text collection Gutenachtgeschichten für Verliebte. Since 2024, she has appeared annually as a poet and performer in the satirical annual review "Bundesordner" - a cabaret production by Casino Theater Winterthur. She enjoys working behind the scenes, including organizing the feminist reading stage "Kollektiv Kitzeln". She has a master's degree in psychology.


4 Sven Hirsbrunner
From his first steps as a trombonist in the Aadorf brass band to the big stages of the Vorderjura: Sven Hirsbrunner knows his way around. The musicality of his early days is also evident in his spoken word texts, when here a linguistic arabesque flashes up, there a solemnly narrated requiem. Lyrical wit is the trademark of the now 38-year-old from Biberstein.


5 Nadine Lambrigger
Nadine supports people in the service sector as a coach and expert for assistant professionals. As a trainer, she has a humorous and appreciative approach to herself and others. As an author, she writes brilliant text spectacles and as an improv artist, presenter and speaker, she is not afraid to take to the stage. And incidentally, she reached the final in her first participation in a poetry slam in 2024 and won the Swiss Speaking Slam in 2024.
