WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Before Moulin Rouge, before Folies Bergere, there was Desir, the jewel of Paris. The producers of Absinthe and La Vie present the world premiere of a stunning new theatrical circus experience which takes you backstage at the greatest nightclub the world has ever seen. A meeting place for showgirls and soldiers, bejeweled courtesans and maharajahs, Desir is a carnival world devoted to the pursuit of beauty, clever seductions and breathtaking displays of acrobatic wonder. It is a sparkling merry-go-round where your last love affair is merely an entree to your next encounter.

Tempting as it may be to stay home and immerse yourself in the Olympics, not even watching that spectacle on your 80-inch HDTV can compete with the up-close-and-personal combination of athletic daring-do, hot bodies, and not-so-subtle erotica that come together to make
Desir the most successful show to play the Spiegeltent in the three years since its began its residency at the South Street Seaport.
Let's just sum it up this way: To the best of my knowledge, NBC has yet to show Michael Phelps being covered in Reddi-Whip, a fate that happily befalls the amazing contortonist and hand balancer Olaf Triebel shortly after he completes his awe-inducing act.
