Chris Kolonko in “Ein Koffer voll Marlene”

Deutsches Theater München organizes
The art of transformation in all its facets
An evening full of nostalgia, wit and glamor: Chris Kolonko, one of Germany’s best-known travesty artists, appears for the first time in the Silbersaal in his famous role as Marlene Dietrich. In a newly conceived show, he combines his well-known, glamorous homage to the legendary diva with a dash of comedy. In addition to great emotions, wonderful insights into her eventful life and legendary songs, this show will also be a great source of laughter. Because no matter how glamorous a life was lived on the outside: In retrospect, numerous situations and relationships turn out to be unintentional comedies of life. As in all of his shows, Chris Kolonko also wows the audience with amazing costume changes – live in front of the audience. His travesty art is more than just disguise: it is a perfect illusion. Because when he slips into the role of “Dietrich”, a legend is brought to life.
