KuSch goes Varieté, Vol. 19 - mit Marcel Kösling, Anastasiia Popsulys, Maxim Voronin, dem Duo Mimikry und dem Duo Jordanella
Since 2008, there have been variety nights at KuSch, and since then they have found an ever-growing audience. Back then, we tried to add another splash of color to the already broad spectrum. With "KuSch goes Varieté", something began at that time that none of us knew where the journey would lead. Now, the 19th edition of this concept is already on the horizon, which has evidently found its place. For several years now, the evenings have been sold out well in advance, and in 2018, Sunday afternoon was added as a date for a third show.
The success is also due to the fact that the audience experiences a program here that is in no way inferior to those in the GOP venues, the Krystallpalast, or the Tigerpalast. The shows can only be experienced in Herborn, which makes them even more unique.
In 2027, we have selected the following artists for you:
The evening will be hosted by Marcel Kösling, the all-purpose weapon of the German cabaret scene – with a magnificent mix of comedy, magic, and cabaret that will guarantee no one is looking at the clock. With his unmistakable humor, charming stories, and magical surprises, Kösling will also make you (yes, you!) think, laugh, and marvel. Between sharp-witted punchlines and astonishing illusions, he manages to question the jungle of our everyday life with a wink and bring the big and small moments of life into focus.
An evening with Marcel Kösling is more than just entertainment – it’s an experience that stays in memory. Whether you are a comedy fan, a magic lover, or a cabaret connoisseur: With him, every second is a gain, and he proves that humor and magic are the best medicine against the stress of everyday life.
Veronica Fontanella and Andy Jordan met at the State School for Circus Arts in Berlin. Since then, they have been traveling the world as Duo Jordanella. With elegance, creativity, and courage, they present artistic masterpieces and captivate audiences worldwide with their passion for circus arts. Andy Jordan originally hails from Austria. His passion for juggling began more than 13 years ago and has since not left him. He now fascinates people worldwide – both as a duo and solo – with his precision, sense of rhythm, and creative artistry. Veronica, from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, has been on stage since early childhood. Today, she impresses internationally with stunning aerial acrobatics on the aerial silk and expressive handstand balance. Whether alone or in a duo – you will experience elegance, strength, and technical precision.
Comedy can also be a bit quieter! The German-French duo Mimikry raises the bar high with their visual comedy, as Elias Elastisch and Nicolas Rocher make the audience laugh without much context. With their pantomime show "Tasty Biscuits" and many crisp, short jokes, the two comedians tour through Germany's major cities. Evenings with Duo Mimikry stand out as delightfully witty, consistently pointed with social criticism, and as a tasteful sensation of dark humor and satire. In such a programmatic comedy explosion, everyone gets their money’s worth. "Mimikry" is actually a biological term for the attempted imitation of certain characteristics of others in order to blend inconspicuously into a crowd. The duo Mimikry quietly adopts these characteristics.
Maxim Voronin has created his own unique stage art. Born in San Francisco, he is a true variety child, as his parents are Yevgeniy Voronin, a world-class magician, and Svetlana Perekhodova, a unique contortionist. From "both worlds" or disciplines, the young artist, who graduated from the Kyiv Academy of Variety and Circus Arts in 2022, took the best and created his own very special act. By combining the traditions of magic and circus with theatrical storytelling, Maxim creates a unique genre that reinterprets and revitalizes both art forms. This is also evident in his second act, where he seemingly effortlessly defies the laws of gravity.
Anastasiia Popsulys is an aerial acrobat who can be experienced in Herborn on the aerial ring and with a very special contortion number. Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, she also graduated from the Kyiv Academy of Variety and Circus Arts in 2022. Her acts, featuring sophisticated technique, choreography, and expressive stage performance, have already taken her to Asia and the USA, where she has collaborated with international productions and creative teams worldwide.
Variety shows at KuSch – they are one of the highlights of the annual program. We look forward to the now 19th edition. And again, it holds true: This program can only be seen in this configuration in Herborn!
Admission: 7 PM
