Shruti Lal

I'm Shruti Lal and I've been writing since I was around the age of 8. I started out with silly little rhymes and grew up to emotional pieces that held my heart. I've mostly been writing poetry pertaining to my own life experiences, and I'm working on expanding on my style. Performing and writing really is the only way I've felt like saying something important (lmao even after writing 5000 academic words), and I hope to continue doing this.Being in Geneva sometimes has made me feel like everything we're studying and doing is not really making the world any better, but when I read poetry, it doesn't matter which part of this world its coming from, the burden feels lighter when it is shared. Not all poetry has to make sense, it just has to make you feel.

Jeremy Chavez

In 2018, Jeremy (1999) stood on stage for the first time and thought to himself: “I’ll never do that again.” A year later, out of boredom, he tried the poetry slam again and, to his own surprise, became U20 Swiss champion. Since then, he has been an integral part of the spoken word scene and performs from Brig to Hamburg, Thun to Vienna, across the cabaret stages in German-speaking countries.

 

Since 2021 he has also been on the u20 Slam Aargau organizing committee, where he teaches young people the art of writing and speaking as part of the promotion of young talent. The Villmerger lives in Basel and studies history and German at the university.
