Dive into the hedonistic world of Sabrage…
Menier Chocolate Factory and Strut & Fret announce the company for the world première of Sabrage, a brand-new theatrical experience combining the worlds of circus and cabaret in a unique spectacle, opening at one of London’s leading live music venues Lafayette. Scott Maidment, award-winning artistic innovator, directs Cherise Adams-Burnett, duo Flynn Miller and Kimberley Bargenquast, Skye Ladell, Remi Martin, Christian Nimri, Spencer Novich and Emma Phillips. The production opens on 26 March, with previews from 15 March, and is booking until 6 July 2025.
Sabrage - taking after the ceremonial practice of opening a champagne bottle with a sabre - will be an extravagant evening inviting audiences to delve into the world of allure and seduction within this intimate venue. A place where eyes glimmer and the sensual and salacious combine on a wild ride of big moves, great tunes and more than a few surprises. Sabrage offers heady top notes followed by rich textures, a smooth body and an utterly unexpected finish. The acrobatic talent and finest cabaret from around the world are serving an intoxicating blend of vintage French glamour, high-end spectacle and titillating acts to infatuate, illuminate and inspire.
Hosted at Lafayette, a venue that has made its name for catching the fastest rising musical acts – ranging from the diverse likes of Charli XCX, Dave, Olivia Dean, Beck and Anne-Marie, this production will give audiences a new live entertainment experience like no other.
Guests will have the opportunity to purchase VIP access to the backstage hideaway - Nola’s Bar—an opulent speakeasy that channels the heady glamour of the Roaring Twenties. Tucked away like a well-kept secret, this hideaway fuses vintage elegance with a house-party spirit, where plush surroundings, handcrafted cocktails and a rhythm of live music create an atmosphere of unbridled revelry. Nola’s promises a night of pure escapism, where the magic lingers long after the final bow.
