Ready for something a bit sexy, a bit dark and a lot different? Take a walk on the wild side with Cantina, a burlesque circus hybrid that is designed to tantalise and disconcert. Staged in a 1920s Spiegeltent (a handsome mirrored marquee), this is a circus that conjures up Coney Island freak shows, speakeasies and the great depression of the 1930s. The seven performers are lewd and tattooed - and really very outrageously talented. Prepare yourself for a feast of debauchery, contortion, lewd glamour and black comedy. Part of the Auckland Arts Festival.
