The Caliginous Carnivàle

It is a dark vaudevillian extravaganza that keeps spectators coming back for more.

We deal in flesh and blood; in pain and pleasure; in flame and fire and sharp pointy things! We are the line between the dastardly and the divine. Through our actions, we prove the amazing and astounding - that anything is possible.

There, to the lurching strains of a ghoulishly attired band pickled in equal parts klezmer and Cabaret, the talented troupe daintily tiptoes en pointe past cheap and easy ironic commentary and right into the open arms of the fat lady. As noble and foolhardy as tightrope walkers in a windstorm, each night they bring to life the thrilling, titillating spectacle of a circus from a distant time--complete with ringmaster, freaks, juggling, astounding acrobatics, and dancing ladies in subtly suggestive attire.

And oh, the sights on stage. It's a circus lover's delight, complete with contortion, trapeze and juggling, all done with the grace of a traditional circus, but the aesthetic of a lasciviously-minded painter.

Thusly, Mr. Blackcinder's Traveling Parade of Pulchritude is always seeking talented individuals who wish to perform and entertain the masses. Do you sing? Do you dance? Can you juggle flames and swords while wearing only pants? Jugglers, magicians, fortune-tellers, cabaret singers and burlesque dancers... all are welcomed by the Dark Champion of Professional Entertainers, Mr. Blackcinder!
