Caberet at the Darwin Festival

The masterminds behind Darwin Festival 2017’s sell-out success Blanc de Blanc are back with a brand-new show. Head to the all-new Victoria Spiegeltent for a glitzy and glamorous party of Gatsby-esque proportions. From aerial acrobatics to captivating cabaret and burlesque, Blanc de Blanc: Encore promises a sexy champagne-soaked world filled with big moves, great tunes and more than a few surprises. Blanc de Blanc Encore will run for 22 performances across the Festival, Thursday 8 - Sunday 25 August.

Post-post-modern diva Meow Meow has hypnotised, inspired and terrified audiences globally. The spectacular crowd-surfing queen of song comes to the Festival for an unforgettable evening of exquisite music and much mayhem. Prepare for Piazzolla tangos, Weill, Brecht, Brel, even Radiohead alongside original chansons as she showcases her glorious brand of subversive and sublime performance at The Lighthouse, Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 August.

Expect the unexpected in a dazzling new show that is equal parts outrageous and avant-garde with YUMMY. An ever-fabulous ensemble of some of the best cabaret, drag and burlesque artists in the world will take audiences on a delicious and unpredictable ride in this stunning Darwin debut. YUMMY sashays into The Lighthouse, Friday 16 and Saturday 17 August.

Pour a drink, ditch the leash and revel in a new work by psycho-siren Leah Shelton, directed by UK performance art provocateur Ursula Martinez. Bitch on Heat is a decadent banquet of lethal lip-synch, dark comedy and anti-burlesque.  Run, don’t walk, to this pop-fuelled critique of sexual politics in the age of implied consent. Bitch on Heat is on at Happy Yess, Friday 9 - Sunday 11 August
