In 2016, the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death, the world will celebrate their most important poet and dramatist. The Shakespeare Festival Neuss invites you to kick off these celebrations with the Globe variety which presents Shakespeare in a different light, incorporating humour, magic, poetry and music. The artistic director Daniel Finkernagel and the director Karl-Heinz Helmschrot were able to inspire artists, who are among the first in their field, for this idea: the actress Corinna Kirchhoff, the illusionist Sascha Simon, the Asasello Quartet, Signum Saxophone Quartet and the composer Peter Wesenauer. According to the motto “varietas delectate“, the Globe Variety combines style elements, from the soap opera to the poetry slam, accompanied by dancing chamber music, floating violin and the singing saw to create a varied evening full of surprises. This is how we celebrate Shakespeare's anniversary and kick-start the festival.
