More Stuff to See . . .

A friend just informed me of two good shows in a cool atmosphere. He went to see La Vie yesterday and truly enjoyed it. Take a look:
La Vie
La Vie is a cabaret... on the outskirts of life. Before exiting either upstage or downstage, the players are literally dying to prove themselves. Flying high above the audience, the MC cajoles the players to act out unfulfilled fantasies, reveal hidden taboos and indulge unrequited passions. The final judgement is up to you. Remember, someone's hell is another's heaven.
Montreal's sizzling circus-arts theatre company, Les 7 Doigts de la Main, will present the first ever theatro-batic show hand crafted for a Spiegeltent. Four years ago, seven extraordinary performers from Cirque du Soleil and beyond formed the company which has since captivated audiences around the globe. Their mix of life-threatening aerial acrobatics, wild characters and wicked music will ignite the intimate Speigelworld stage.
"The gently unorthodox, intelligently wry and breathtaking skillful wonder of the `new circus` experience called `7 Fingers`. If this is the circus of the 21st century, things are looking up." -Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle

Absinthe
Combining the traditions of vaudeville and music hall with Berliner Kabarett, ABSINTHE: LES ARTISTES DE LA CLIQUE is a variety show in which sultry Fairground attractions collide with sexy sideshow burlesque. The show takes place in a Spiegeltent residing at the Fulton Fish Market, at South Street under the Brooklyn Bridge. From their beginnings in Belgium at the turn of the last century, these iconic tents have been traveling the world as part of arts festivals and fairs. Please note: all tickets are for general admission seating.
"The warped burlesque circus show ABSINTHE is Cirque du Soleils younger sister - more brash, less inhibited and more naked...far raunchier, funnier and more intimate than its better-known Quebecois forerunner. The performers in "Absinthe" run the gamut from singers, jugglers, sword swallowers, men of unusual strength, and women of unusual beauty and dexterity. But there is a twist with nearly every act, something that makes you question how they even conceived of the idea, let along practiced it every day." - Associated Press
"On the tiny stage a young man with a breathtaking body languidly performs acrobatics, pulling himself out of a bathtub by bands suspended from the roof and spinning himself over the heads of the public, who are liberally sprinkled with water from his sopping-wet jeans. His act typifies the blend of skill, erotic innuendo and zaniness that characterizes Absinthe, part cabaret, part circus" - The New York Times
"Do whatever it takes to get a front-row seat. This is cabaret blinged up to the max and an unmissable evenings entertainment. The Scotsman
Sensational yet intimate...experience so rich...in a word, fabulous. The Sunday Telegraph, London
The years most extravagant and endearing must-see. The Austrailian

Please Note this production contains nudity. I think that this may be a selling point for some
