Presentation of the artistsPeter HeinigerPesche Heiniger, born in 1981, lives in Oberfrittenbach in the Emmental. He loves writing and he loves the stage. His texts are multifaceted, his language is juicy and virtuoso. He made his debut as a slam poet in 2015. He usually performs solo, sometimes with Remo Zumstein or with his band Heiniger & The Jolly Carpenters. In 2018, he self-published his first book "Furliwurlibibadndadudlidu". Most recently, the short story "Kleine Auszeit" was published in 2021.
Gina WalterGina Walter, born and raised in the beautiful Basel region, has been making Swiss slam poetry stages unsafe since 2015. She proudly held the title of "U20 Swiss Champion 2017" for a year and then really took off. Since then, she has traveled to various venues in German-speaking countries as a poet, presenter and workshop leader. She reached the semi-finals twice for Switzerland at the German-speaking championships in Zurich (2018) and Vienna (2022). Her texts? A hodgepodge of everyday topics, mixed with a pinch of humor and a dash of sarcasm.
Joël PerrinSince 2015, Joël Perrin has lived between medical dissecting rooms and slam stages, became U20 Swiss champion, fought his way to the final of the German-speaking championships and turned down the chance to take part in the European championships. His lyrics have set up camp on the lyrical border between genius and madness, are razor-sharp and show more tact than a BBraun Space P Infusomat®. Joël Perrin breaks down worldviews into words - and distils them into linguistic catharsis. There is life before death.
Samuel Richner1999 opened his mouth to scream for the first time and then never closed it again. Having grown up among the sandstones of the capital, Samuel Richner lives in Bern. He has been performing on various stages since 2017, where he fights for the bottles of whisky that his friends receive as Christmas presents.
He feels so comfortable on stage that he would love to live on one. Samuel Richner won the Swiss Poetry Slam Championships in 2022.
Johannes R. MilliusJohannes R. Millius was born in Valais in the early 1990s or - more likely - found in the ball pit of an IKEA store. Today he works as a cultural delegate for Leuk-Stadt and is active in the independent theater scene. He is a sidekick in Fabienne Hadorn's "Kaboormroom", produces "Die Eltern" (with Matto Kämpf, Stefanie Grob, Gerhard Meister, Simone Chen and Rahel Hubacher) and performs with Daniel Blatter as the cabaret duo "Wort und Totschlag". He also writes columns for the Walliser Boten newspaper, directs, works as a speaker and would like to become a vet when he grows up. He doesn't like orange jam or Paolo Coelho.
