Grand Island Variety Show on Spiekeroog
Spiekeroog is one of the quietest islands in East Frisia – and it's precisely for this reason that the island variety show in the Kurgarten unfolds a special magic. When the fairy lights are switched on in the evening, the wind rustles through the trees, and the audience takes their seats closely packed in a semicircle, a show begins that works with the classic elements of variety and circus: without intrusive technology, but with the highest level of physical artistry and lovingly staged transitions.
Artists 2026
In 2026, Circus Tausendtraum once again relies on an international ensemble. Among them are:
- Rainer Stanke – High bar and magic comedy in the best tradition of German variety shows
- Cecilia Hedlund – Handstand acrobatics and LED hula hoop, whose glowing hoops set the summer evening in motion
- Brian O'Gott – Cabaret musician with pointed songs oscillating between charm and subtle nuances
- Rebecca Hülsmann – Aerial silks acrobatics, weightless and elegant between sky and stage
Atmosphere and Flow
The performance lasts about two hours with an intermission. The setup is family-friendly; the individual acts are timed so that even younger guests can remain focused. Live accompaniment creates atmosphere between acts, and the audience becomes part of the staging: you sit right in the middle of the Kurgarten, smell the salty island air, and experience acrobatics in unusually intimate proximity.
Tradition and Organizer
Behind the series is Circus Tausendtraum, which has been shaping the family program in Spiekeroog's Kurpark for many years. With storytelling, play festivals, and acrobatics workshops, the circus has long been a part of the island summer – the island variety show is its evening flagship and one of the few events on Spiekeroog that explicitly appeals to older children, teenagers, and adults.
Spiekeroog Island Variety Show — edition 2026
2026 Edition in the Kurgarten
The 2026 season includes two performances, both on Tuesdays at 7:30 PM. The venue is again the Kurgarten on Gartenweg – a sheltered, tree-lined spot in the island's center, which is excellent acoustically and atmospherically for the show. The artist lineup is curated by Circus Tausendtraum and stands for the sophisticated blend of variety classics and contemporary stage comedy.
Target Audience and Character
Unlike the morning family offerings, the island variety show is aimed at an evening audience from around eight years old upwards. The tone remains charming, the acrobatics are embedded in scenes, and the aerial silks and LED acts create images that also delight adult guests.
