Not only is dementia discussed in talk shows, newspapers, and among relatives. In recent years, the stars of word competitions have also taken on this serious topic, providing the audience with goosebumps and smiles through honest, funny, or touching texts. Slam poetry about perhaps the least sexy topic in the world: dementia. Multiple German poetry slam champion Lars Ruppel has been dedicated to his "Weckworte" project for people with dementia for years. The carefully selected texts he presents are moving and entertaining, casting light and shadow, and sounding as personal and true as only slam poetry can. These are texts for relatives, caregivers, and everyone who must not be forgotten or forgotten.
