Festival of Travesty in Bad Salzuflen - Maria Crohn & Friends 2026

Festival of Travesty - A show like an intoxicating whirl of glamour, emotion and great art!
Directed and hosted by the incomparable Maria Crohn

Welcome to an evening that will stop the world for a few hours - because it is so intense, so beautiful and so extraordinary that you forget everything else. The Festival of Travesty is more than just a show. It is an experience. A fireworks of emotions. A tribute to the art of transformation, to life itself - colourful, loud, honest and boundless.

What awaits you? Everything. And more!

When the lights come up and the curtain rises, a journey through worlds begins where everything seems possible. Where a man becomes a diva, a song sends shivers down your spine, and a single glance captivates the entire audience. Live singing meets cheeky comedy, parody meets genuine feeling, sparkle meets substance.

Here you laugh, marvel, feel touched - and sometimes comforted. Because travesty is not just entertainment. Travesty is a mirror of society, a valve for everything we often dare not say, and at the same time a celebration of life in all its facets.

The artists on stage:
They are masters of illusion, artists of transformation with soul. Each one carries an entire universe within - and brings it to the stage with charm, wit and breathtaking presence. In this show, talent meets conviction, professionalism meets passion.

Whether powerful ballads, cheeky performances, hilarious characters or moving monologues - everything is handmade, performed live and delivered with heartfelt dedication. Here nothing is hidden, but much is transformed. And that is exactly what creates the magic.

And centre stage: Maria Crohn.
She is not just the host, but the heart and soul of the festival. With her experience, her sharp tongue, her big heart and her unmistakable style, she guides the evening - sometimes touching, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, always authentic.
