COCKTAILS – a contemporary cabaret
Intimate and eccentric at the same time, flustering and topsy-turvy, Cocktails draws on the form of cabaret to present a mix of short pieces offering an ironic comment on our time. After To the Ones I Love and Clear Tears | Troubled Waters, Thierry Smits returns to a format that is closer to performance art to offer us a new show that is teasing and subversive. Grotesque, extravagance, irreverence! What is at play is delusion and unpredictability!

This trailer for Cocktails blends dance, nudity, and erotic horror in surreal stage performances. A topless performer in a white teddy bear mask strikes animalistic poses amid dark theatrical settings. Nude figures grasp poles and props, leading to a blood-smeared intimate embrace on a reflective surface.
