Aphrodisiac: A Sinful Benefit for The 4 Horsemen Productions!!


Help Save Our Circus: Come to Heaven Nightclub on Thursday April 29, 9pm-1am!

DJ Amphetamine Virus and Shon McLeod!

Fire by Furthermore Collective & 4 Horsemen Productions!

Dancing by Hands of Kali, Vertigo, Aegea, and more!

$10 adv, $12 door, see you all there. :-D


The 4 Horsemen Productions, a 501c3 non-profit and one of Seattle's longest-running circus and performance art companies, has been showcasing cirque, cabaret, burlesque, sideshow, fire performance, and dance since 2004. We have been thrilled to present Seattle audiences with a wide range of sexy, dark, and innovative productions. We hope you have enjoyed our work!

This year, the 4 Horsemen has big new ideas, new leadership, and an exciting new vision. But we need your help to make it happen.

Recently, the circus mounted a tour down the West Coast. Our celebrated Sin on Heels production made stops from Seattle through Portland and down to San Francisco. The tour was a remarkable artistic success -- but it did not fare well financially.

Today, we urgently need your help to save the circus. We've never asked for donations like this before, but we really need your help now. Please support us with a donation or attend Aphrodisiac on April 29th. Even $25 will make a big difference, and this money will go directly to support the talented performers who participated in the tour. Please give whatever you can.

We deeply appreciate your urgent support in our hour of need. We hope to be around for many years to bring you exciting new shows.

Can't make it to the benefit but want to help? Go here to donate: http://www.the4horsemen.org/_t4h/donate.php

All New Show: SST/PURE CIRKUS: VERSUS


SST/PURE CIRKUS ROADSHOW, an explosive theatrical experience, is a fusion of traveling freak show, burlesque, pyrotechnic theatre, and combative cabaret. This controversial, hysterical, and extraordinary production features the best Seattle has to offer in underground theater.
SST (Super Sonic Theatre) and PURE Cirkus takes a destructively humorous approach to theater, exploring the full range of human abnormalities, feats of strength, death defying stage combat choreography, and scintillating beauties.
The production will feature amazing performers such as Cannibal Jack, Jenny Penny, Dr Sirreal, Jannabalecter, Noel “The Freak” Austin, Julia Ghoulia, Butterhorn, Palomino Escobar, and introducing our newest star and Director Deevious Silvertongue from SST as well as other Special Guests from SST.
SST/PURE CIRKUS ROADSHOW will be appearing at the Nuemos, 925 E Pike St

Seattle Weekly Recommends us This Friday!

The Seattle Weekly Recommends us for Friday:

The Weekly Wire: The Week's Recommended Events
FRIDAY 11/6

Stage/Burlesque: Whetting Your Appetite

Forget dinner and a movie. The Blue Moon Cabaret puts ordinary date nights to shame. Hosted by Miss Indigo Blue, this burlesque show (with a four-course meal) features a rotating cast of popular performers, including Paula the Swedish Housewife, The Shanghai Pearl, and Inga IngĂ©nue. Admittedly, it's pricey. But it's also three hours of solid entertainment set in the swanky Pampas Room. Each performer takes the stage individually several times during the evening to flirt and flaunt her assets through provocative and sometimes surprisingly humorous dance routines. And this reporter speaks from firsthand experience when she says there's no better way to win over your man than with an evening filled with nearly nude women and filet mignon. El Gaucho, 2505 First Ave., 728-1337, elgaucho.com. $100–$225 (21 and over). 7:30 p.m. (Repeats Nov. 20.) ERIKA HOBART

The posh Pampas Room—pronounced "pamp-as," not "pompous"—is the lounge adjunct of Belltown steak house El Gaucho. Those entering from Wall Street descend a long, carpeted stairway directly into the lap of luxury, where the bar curves off into infinity in the soothing dim. (The stairs are precipitous, but the distinct impression is that should you fall, you'd be cushioned by big wads of unseen money.) The room itself only nods to art-deco swank, but it feels as rich as the clientele. Jacketed waitstaff glide about anticipating desires, and there's a thrum of anticipation: It's opening night of the Blue Moon Cabaret, bringing burlesque to Pampas Room for the very first time.

How many people here are burlesque virgins? Hostess Miss Indigo Blue wants to know at the start of the show. She calls everyone "darlings," and after a little teasing and coaxing (her specialty), the answer is a surprisingly resounding cheer. Apparently this echelon of Seattle society has been waiting for the likes of El Gaucho to give burlesque its imprimatur; now they are here with bells on to see the Blue Moon Cabaret take it (almost) all off. With the show come various amuse-bouches, beet salad with bleu d'Auvergne, El Gaucho's famed filet (or, if you must, chicken or salmon), and a trio of desserts. For the amusement of mouth, eyes, and ears, the nearly sold-out house has paid $100 to $225 per person (the latter persons getting their posteriors front-row table seating and their interiors Veuve Clicquot).

Is it worth it? If you're asking the question, you're in the wrong place (though the dinner alone may be priced from El Gaucho's menu at approximately $75). The silver-screen-style beauty in the feathered white pillbox hat and her older gentleman friend seem to be enjoying themselves enormously from the get-go, and as the wine and cocktails flow, everybody gets in the mood. Onstage, performers plumb burlesque's classic era, peeling their couture-level costumes (by the likes of It's Mark Mitchell and Danial Hellman) away with all due lack of haste. The smiling Shanghai Pearl explores some old-fashioned "orientalism" with the help of an abacus; dainty Inga Ingenue dances with two pink-feathered fans, a couple handfuls of spangles, and nothing else; Ginger, the toast of Paris (looking suspiciously like local burlesque star the Swedish Housewife), demonstrates the improper way to pour Veuve. But it's the aptly named Alotta Boutté, all the way from San Francisco, who works the room, singing "Ain't Misbehavin'" and stealing the show.

The Blue Moon Cabaret alternates with the Dark Side of the Moon Burlesque most Fridays through December, and future lineups for both shows include male performers. If this is objectification, it'll be going at least two ways, darlings.
