Subordinating conjunction 'dass' with verb-final position
dass ein Gedicht vorgetragen wird

Passive voice with 'werden' + past participle
vorgetragen wird
The passive is formed with the auxiliary 'werden' (here in present tense) and the past participle 'vorgetragen'. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject.
