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.
