At the Bessunger Knabenschule Cultural Center in Darmstadt, it presents an engaging evening brimming with a feel-good factor. Variet\u00e9 Extra has already achieved cult status among Darmstadt audiences. Since 2000, more than 1,000 spectators have attended the performances annually at the Bessunger Knabenschule Cultural Center. Special attention is paid to the individuality and charisma of the artists and their performances when selecting the acts. In addition to highlights from acrobatics and contemporary circus, interactive street theater artists also perform. Variet\u00e9 Extra Darmstadt has earned a strong reputation in the international arts scene. The enthusiastic Darmstadt audience, in particular, contributes to an unparalleled atmosphere. A special focus is placed on nurturing young artists, with several emerging talents being integrated into the program each year. The professional setting gives them the opportunity to shine in front of an audience and gain valuable performance experience. This year's participants include: Robert Wicke (Dropbert) \u2013 Host. He surprises with heartwarming humor, swirling balls, and fantastic beatbox sounds. He celebrates subtle everyday vignettes almost without words. Robert Wicke has also hosted the \"Feuerwerk der Turnkunst\" (Fireworks of Gymnastics) and Circus Roncalli. Video: www.dropbert.com Fenja Barteldres \u2013 Cyr Wheel. She uses her Cyr wheel in a novel way. Perfection is questioned, and so her apparatus is sometimes strangely bent, sometimes as flexible as a snake, and sometimes disassembled into its individual parts. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Circus Arts from Codarts in Rotterdam and is a Silver Star winner at the International Young Stage Festival 2024. Video: www.youtu.be Niklas Bothe \u2013 Vertical Rope & Hula Hoop He amazes with contortions at dizzying heights and daring drops on the vertical rope, as well as with manipulations of hula hoops. He is a graduate of the State School of Artistic Performance in Berlin and has performed at venues including the GOP and Schmidt Theater in Hamburg. Video: www.vimeo.com Anita Bertolami \u2013 Puppet Theater Anita Bertolami creates a poetic journey of the imagination. With very simple means, she transforms her own body from one character to the next. Anita Bertolami performs primarily in public spaces, including at the Just for Fun Street Theater Festival Darmstadt 2022. Video: www.youtu.be Canavaltwins \u2013 Juggling & Live Music They combine live music and innovative LED technology with masterful juggling. Clap-along vibes guaranteed! The Canavaltwins graduated from the State School of Artistic Performance in Berlin and have performed at shows such as Breakin' Circus and GOP Variet\u00e9.
