Cirque Berzerk presents Beneath

The twisted cabaret that is Cirque Berzerk returns to downtown LA.

Cirque Berzerk has been called everything from "a circus on acid" to "French burlesque meets Sweeney Todd." Born at Burning Man in 2005 and named one of “L.A.’s 10 Weirdest Events of 2008” by the Los Angeles Times, Cirque Berzerk has tickled the collective innards of L.A. and beyond with a psychotically-tinged sultry show filled with sinewy, breathtaking acrobatics, sensual aerialists, gothic stilt walkers, fetishy burlesque dancers, voluptuous contortionists and a host of punk rock clowns, none of whom know how to make cute balloon animals for the kiddies. "Wholesome family fun" it ain't.

Cirque Berzerk will be in town through July 5th, performing Thursdays at 8:30 pm, two shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 and 10:00 pm and two shows on Sundays at 5:00 and 8:00 pm.
