The Flow Erotic Cabaret
Neon Sugar
Turn up the glow and indulge your sweetest impulses as we transform the Ropecraft stage into a high-voltage confection of electric color and decadent delight. Luminous candygrams and ultraviolet dreams flicker to life as sweetness teeters on the edge of overload. Think blacklight fantasy, syrupy seduction, synthetic shine, and perhaps a taste of the dark side of indulgence…
Showcasing the signature Twisted Windows blend of aerial acrobatics, dance, variety, and avant-garde rope at an evening of exquisitely erotic, sensually subversive, and distinctly daring performance art.
*** Show will be MC’d by Shakti Bliss and Shay Tiziano ***
Doors open at 7:40pm; we’ll kick off with an opening ambient bondage performance, followed by the spotlight acts starting at 8pm.
Themed attire is admired but not required – think neons, vinyl, glitter, glowing accents, candy wrappers, and anything deliciously unhinged.
