Festival der Travestie in Witten - Maria Crohn & Friends 2027

Festival der Travestie - a show of glamour, emotion and genuine artistry!
Directed and hosted by the one and only Maria Crohn

Welcome to an evening that makes the world stand still for a few hours - so intense, so beautiful and so out of the ordinary that everything else fades away. Festival der Travestie is more than a show. It's an experience. A burst of emotions. A tribute to the art of transformation and to life itself - colourful, loud, honest and boundless.

What's in store? Everything. And then some.

When the lights come up and the curtain rises, a journey begins through worlds where anything seems possible. Where a man becomes a diva, a song raises goosebumps, and a single glance holds the entire audience captive. Live vocals meet sharp comedy, parody meets genuine feeling, glitter meets depth.

There's laughter, wonder, and emotion - and sometimes comfort too. Because travestie is not just entertainment. It's a mirror of society, an outlet for everything we're often not allowed to say, and at the same time a celebration of life in all its facets.

The performers on stage:
They are masters of illusion, artists of transformation with soul. Each one carries a whole 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 compere routines, hilarious characters or moving monologues - everything is live, handcrafted and performed with heart. Nothing is hidden here, but much is transformed. That's where the magic lies.

And at the centre of it all: Maria Crohn.
She's not just the host - she's the heart and soul of the festival. With her experience, sharp tongue, big heart and unmistakable style, she guides the evening from start to finish - by turns touching, riotously funny, always real.
