Cirque After Dark

Cirque After Dark: Straddle Up! is a SPICY-CIRCUS cabaret at Cirque Indy, May 8 & 9. The show is packed with trapeze tricksters, coin tossers, high sneezers, jugglers, jigglers, and jewel eye’ed jezebels, featuring both seasoned professionals and rising artists. Expect a little bit of everything: bawdy, hilarious, heart-rending, sexy, and downright jaw-dropping.

This year’s theme takes a playful, irreverent spin on Western culture—cowboys, Americana, and all the mischief you can imagine after dark.

Always a gas. Never a dry eye.

Where: Cirque Indy (small studio, small seat capacity—close, immersive, and up close to the action)

From the moment you walk through the red and white striped door, you’re stepping into something playful, provocative, and just a little unpredictable. This is not a traditional theater experience—this is Cirque After Dark.
