Grand Guignolers' Absinthe, Opium & Magic

Posted by: Trisha in Cabarets & Burlesque Shows on Jan 10, 2010

Trisha

There's a movement of sorts happening in theatre, a decidedly darker realm of theatrical performances that include aerialist, fire, cabaret, burlesque, and loves to include the audience.The Grand Guignolers is one of these all-inclusive experiences in the vain of Cirque Berzerk, Lucent Dossier, and the whole steampunk aesthetic.

Join the Grand Guignolers Fridays and Saturdays at the Art Works Theatre on a 1920s luxury cruise to Shanghai, the most decadent city in the 1920s with Sing Song Girls (Chinese geishas), brawling gangsters, opium dens, a dummy, blood and magic. Come early for the pre-show on-board festivities include absinthe & tea tasting, Charleston, photo booth, dancing, tango, Flashlight Follies, live travelogue and more. Suggested attire is vintage or period wear, of cocktail attire if you're feeling more conservative. The run was recently extended through January 23, so more Los Angelenos can flock to the Art Works Theatre to be transported to a smoky, hazy, glittering 1920s Shanghai.
