Burlesque and baroque converge in Bushwick and audiences are thirsty
Cocktail Magique. The Brooklyn-based theatrical dance troupe helmed by Austin McCormick offers its latest libation, self-described as a “phantasmagoria of miracles.” Don’t worry; there’s a cream for that.“Cocktail Magique is by far the most environmentally immersive and colorful project we’ve ever done,” said McCormick in a statement. “This new show contains many elements of our core DNA— burlesque, fashion, fabulous chanteuses, but this new direction includes a healthy splash of cocktail-inspired magic and service elements woven into the performance.”Related: The 5 most chaotic Chromatica Ball moments (so far!)Since 2006, Company XIV has been intoxicating audiences with its eye-popping theatrics created in collaboration with resident designer Zane Pihlström, creating adult-only riffs on classics such as Nutcracker Rouge, Queen of Hearts, and Seven Sins.The new 62-seat venue, described by Company XIV as “a royal court of sumptuous opulence,” is around the corner from Théâtre XIV, the company’s sister venue in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
