As part of National Poetry Month, URBAN-15 again is hosting Mega Corazón the annual spoken-word marathon featuring San Antonio’s premiere performance poets.

Celebrating a hybrid San Antonio poetic tradition that combines street, classical, and slam performance styles, Mega Corazón is frontal, improvisational, at times painful, and often choreographed for a highly visual impact.

This year’s Mega Corazón premiers April 4, 2022 at 10 am CST with two Distinct Shows which will run throughout the Month of April.

EVERY Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in April from 10 am to 10 pm
