Dalibor Markovic

Rhythmic beatbox interludes mix with threads of dialogue, prosaic passages and poem verses. Dalibor Marković (born 1975, Frankfurt/Main) makes language ring with the virtuosity of a jazz musician. In doing this, his perspectives are unusual and his materials are striking. “In terms of content there are no clear lines”, says Marković. “It is more a scratching with hand and foot through the dregs of society. With that, a little bit of dirt gets stuck in your shoe or under your fingernails. This dirt is examined in close detail. But not entirely without humour.”

The slam poet from Frankfurt is a co-founder of the spoken word collective WordAlert, and has read in São Paulo, Abu Dhabi, Tashkent and New Delhi. Previous publications include the poetry collections “Schulwege. So Gedichten” and “Bühnenstücke 1”, as well as the USB stick “Bühnenstück 1”. Marković lives and works in Frankfurt am Main.
