In a marquee mounted above the device to the Door of the Lilacs, we are immersed in a space outside of time. The Circus Electric, and her «Cabaret » decadent» makes us rediscover an authentic atmosphere of the cabaret, sometimes subversive, but more often child-like.

Note that the show evolves over the course of weeks; so we attended the 69th review. The numbers start at 21 hours, however if you want to dine there, remember to come well before that. The menu at € 23 is very good. Boards of cheese or charcuterie are also offered. A part of the room is reserved for tables where spectators will watch the show, while the remaining part consists of the stands of the usual circus.

On stage, the numbers are of very good quality as that of the Cyr wheel, trapeze or juggling. Other, more daring, even provocative, with a syringe and a staple gun, you might still be on the stomach. But the just flows brilliantly, accompanied by an orchestra very much present. Only downside, a Gentleman loyal to the texts, unfortunately, little written and sometimes lénifiants.
*Cabaret decadent Circus-Electric door Lilas in Paris (20th), Wednesday to Saturday, until 30 march.
