Set in Berlin in the 1920’s and present day, Berlin Burlesque will transport you into a world of intrigue. Fresh from a sell-out season in NZ this innovative original production from Lyttelton Circus Theatre Company combines intelligent theatre, mesmerising circo arts and virtuosic musicianship to tell the extraordinary life story of Eric Jan Hanussen – illusionist, clairvoyant, charlatan and…lover. It’s a magic combination making this a riot of a show.
