Bold, seductive, and utterly unrestrained, Rouge takes circus, cabaret, and burlesque, strips them down (literally) and blends them into a high-energy spectacle you won’t be able to look away from.

In its eighth and final season, Rouge delivers breathtaking aerial feats, daring cyr wheel stunts, BDSM unicorns, a whip-cracking dominatrix, and a hula-hooping woman with a lampshade over her head – plus a generous dose of full-frontal nudity. It tosses tradition aside, embracing chaos, creativity, and pure, uninhibited fun. Every act is bold, playful, and a little outrageous, yet performed with undeniable skill and flair.

For a night of acrobatics, seduction, and climactic surprises, Rouge is the must-see Fringe show. Extravagant, unfiltered, and impossible to forget – just don’t bring your grandma or the kids!
