Melbourne Cabaret Festival Focus: Silver Sircus

Answered by: Lucinda Shaw

Describe your show in a tweet? Entrancing, dark, gritty and poetic, with richly sensual strings, keys, percussion and an intense hauntingly emotional vocal performance.

What happened the first time you saw a cabaret show? It was sexy, intelligent, mesmerising and I instantly understood how powerfully seductive and exhilarating this dark cabaret genre could be. I wanted to engulf my audiences with magic like that, and I wanted that bittersweet honey in my blood.

What is your party pump up song? Get Ready for Love — Nick Cave, Moonage Daydream — David Bowie.

When and where is your Melbourne Cabaret Festival performance? Thursday 16 Jun, 10pm, The Butterfly Club
