CHRIS Kolonko is one of the most innovative directors of the variety world and his shows have an aesthetic magic that is unique. He achieves what very few artists of his genre achieve: he proves that the art of transformation, the art of travesty is more than a man who appears in women's clothes. CHRIS Kolonko is one of the most sought-after conférenciers in the variety industry and is considered a secret weapon for sold-out houses. What many do not know: He not only stands on stage as a glamorous showgirl, but also puts together shows for big names and directs them.
He designed shows for the company "Palazzo", which later became the "Teatro" and earned the reputation of having staged the best dinner shows ever in the German-speaking world. Vienna, Stuttgart, Essen, Munich, Saarbrücken, Mannheim, some cities have once again celebrated CHRIS and his ideas, which he always contributes, if he does not direct himself. His success culminates in the winter season 2018/2019 with his own dinner show, which he produces and stages in his own Spiegelpalast in Augsburg, and which he will send next winter into a new season.
At the same time, he is steadily expanding his success on the oceans. Especially for the MS Europa and MS Europa 2, CHRIS Kolonko manages what very few succeed in: For over 18 years, year after year, to inspire the guests and managers of the Hapag Lloyd fleet.
