ATROCITY - Cabaret & Burlesque du Grand Guignol 

 
In the year 1897 in the red-light district of Pigalle, Montmatre (not far from the Moulin Rouge), a dangerous theatrical philosophy- the Theatre du Grand Guignol- was born. Founded by Oscar Metenier and helmed by director Max Maury and writer Andre De Lorde (The 'Prince of Terror'), Grand Guignol shocked all of Europe with performances that tore audiences's moral sensibilities to shreds.

Night after night, it served up a potent mix of violence, sexual debasement, terror, insanity, torture, murder and dark humor, challenging audiences and attacking contemporary society's political and social hypocrises.

And now it begins again.

Atrocity - Cabaret du Grand Guignol presents a return to the theatrical values of old. Contemporary, thought-provoking and visceral, it combines shock performance with music, song, dance and surgical use of black comedy, providing a 21st century artistic equivalent to Gladiator sport - a sadistic soap opera of sex, violence, beauty, horror, audience participation and psychological play designed to entrance, enrage, entice and entertain.

But be warned...it is not for the faint of heart...
