An exotic fantasy circus variety show & experience exploring the darker side of wonder

The Event

Now into our 3rd annual cycle of the seasonal DARK Events, we invite you to join us for a dark fantasy themed enchanting evening of performance art, interactive installations and sensory delights for your dark hearted pleasure. Please come dressed to fit the theme: think mischievous elves, magical creatures, dark fairies, sorcerers, dungeons & dragons… all with an exotically dark twist.

The night kicks off with roaming characters, local vendors & a tantalizing ambient b0ndage performance. Our main show features fantasy themed aerial acrobatics, fire, knife throwing, p0le, sideshow, burle$que & more. Post show presents the opportunity to dance & mingle with the cast in a sultry dance party. Bringing together performers from acclaimed Bay Area performance troupes such as The Dragonettes, Twisted Windows, Flux Vertical Theatre & more, Dark Fantasy guarantees to bring an unforgettable experience.

The night features dancy beats by Dark Veterano.
