Poetry slam is a movement based on tournaments of poets who face a jury selected from the audience. In 2010 was created the Poetry Slam Mallorca, one of the pioneer slams with reference in Spain, and now will be celebrated the II International Poetry Slam of Palma 29 and 31 October.
It is a cultural project based on the scenery and show of the word with the participation of eight poets reciting for five minutes. The poems in a foreign language are accompanied by simultaneous translation projected on a screen.
