Description
For those with an insatiable appetite for the louche and loose-limbed, this intimately scaled circus-cum-follies spoons up a lip-smacking treat. Director Wayne Harrison styles the night as a backstage peep at a Moulin Rouge–type revue, with retro references sprinkled throughout: A flexible man goes by Joseph Pilates; a high-flyer arrives as a glittery Amelia Earhart. The key to the show’s success is its scale: Désir snuggles its audience around a stage the size of a dining-room table, letting us ogle the performers like courses at a feast.—Helen Shaw
