Following the success of their Edinburgh Festival debut, Full Moon Cabaret returns to the UK with an especially subversive Valentine’s Day varieté at VAULT Festival 2019. This edition of the Full Moon Cabaret celebrates the Blue Moon with burlesque, varieté, and the dirtiest blues song ever written.

FULL MOON CABARET // THE BLUE MOON A blue moon refers to the rare occurrence when there is a second full moon in a single month. But not only is the colour blue a signifier of rarity, but blue is also a euphemism for pornography. A parade of the perverted and peculiar, the Blue Moon is a fever of filth and fantasy, featuring a drinking game to the dirtiest blues song ever written.
Performers TBA
*****
ABOUT THE FULL MOON CABARET www.fullmooncabaret.com The Full Moon Cabaret is an immersive art party with burlesque, varieté, and sexy surprises, loosely exploring a theme derived from what Native Americans traditionally called the full moon. The Full Moon Cabaret takes this name as a jumping point for an eccentric examination of gender, sexuality, and the general absurdity of being human.
Each night features 3-4 international performers and interactive audience hijinks including the infamous mooning contest where an audience member can win a mason jar of O’Donnell’s moonshine. Tying everything together is the Full Moon Players, a troupe of Berlin-based actors and dancers performing devised theatrical oddities ranging from political satire to interpretative dance. High brow and low brow, but never middle brow, the Full Moon Cabaret is a witty and incisive evening celebrating the lunacy within us all.
