Those who are feeling a little sleepy at the late night show are shaken awake by the captivating fire, silks, acrobats and shadow play of Something Wicked. The intimate venue allows the audience to sit inches from the performers and feel the heat of the flames, allowing for an immersive experience. 

Following themes of seduction, spells, passion and power, the cast’s talent leaves each of us enchanted, taking us on a journey through betrayal, love and hell, all while blurring the lines between pleasure and pain. Performer Ivana Djakovic steals the show with her aerial silk performance, acrobatics and fire play. 

This burlesque is for the senses; narration and music echoing around the tent. If you’re a little squeamish, beware of Saint Eve’s acrobatics on glass. Something Wicked invites us to another world, where a Blood Witch is crowned and we can embrace our own wicked and seductive side. 


Something Wicked.. a bewitching burlesque, Gluttony, until 9 March
