by Julie Wolfson

Naughty burlesque dancers, daring trampoline stunts, scary clowns and steamy duets fill the Cirque Berzerk big top. “Beneath” is a definitely-not-for-kids show, celebrating the dark side of the circus world. Originating at Burning Man, the show since evolved into a full-fledged spectacle, housed in a beautiful new tent custom-built in Italy.

Co-founders Suzanne Bernel and Kevin Bourque created a world that mixes a neo-goth aesthetic with steampunk, vintage and contempory elements.

After each performance the audience is invited to the Cirque Berzerk Lounge to meet the entire troupe and hear live music by Vaud and The Villains.
