Green Fairy Cabaret
Ah, Paris of the Roaring Twenties! Artist-celebs like Hemingway, Cocteau and Dali stumbling drunk through the streets with the common people, chanson music echoing up and down the alleys, everyone hurrying to catch the circus—particularly the aerialists and acrobats, whose death-defying feats became even more dizzying through the eyes of the absinthe-soused spectators. For this year’s French-inspired Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts is channeling those nightly spectacles with their Green Fairy Cabaret (absinthe’s nickname is la fée verte, French for “green fairy”). PSCA’s impressive stable of fabric aerial dancers and trapeze artists (like longtime member Niff Nicholls, the flying redhead on those PIFA billboards around town), will take to the skies over the Kimmel Center’s rooftop garden to recreate those Parisian nights, while jugglers and clowns entertain with their feet on the ground. And yes, there will be an absinthe bar on hand to amplify the experience.
10pm. $16-$20. Hamilton Garden at the Kimmel Center, 300 S. Broad St. kimmelcenter.org
