Five ancient tales of flying creatures both fearsome and enchanting come to life via the dancers, acrobats, and aerialists of the Cabiri performance troupe in their sixth-annual Halloween cabaret Beneath a Wing-Darkened Sky, an evening of elegant dessert theater October 19-28, 2012 at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in West Seattle.
Each feathery, frightening vignette in this year’s production will feature the work of different guest choreographers including Cyrus Khambatta (Khambatta Dance), Matt Henley, Erin Simons and Susan Bienczycka and original music by Seattle-based musician and composer Vasilis J. Fotopolous. Beneath a Wing-Darkened Sky will also be the debut performance of new Cabiri troupe members Eric Esteb (5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle Opera, Ballet Bellevue), Jody Poth, and Kiplinn Sagmiller (Sapience Dance Collective).
Founder and Artistic Director John Murphy is passionate about his organization’s use of non-traditional theatrical arts to depict tales from ancient mythology, a craft they have honed in the Pacific Northwest since 1998. “We refer to our genre as ‘performative mythology.’ We take obscure academic works and bring them to life in an incredibly accessible way on stage. The acrobats, aerialists, and dancers of the Cabiri are incredibly adept at depicting these larger-than-life, archetypal tales with passion and inspiration.”
Price of admission includes dessert from local bakeries and a variety of seating options are available including VIP seating, Premier seating and single tickets, and range in price from $35 to $100. Beverages will be available for purchase at all evening shows, including spirits for those of legal age. Due to mature subject matter, guests under 16 years of age will not be admitted. Attendees are advised to purchase tickets early as this annual event always sells out. Tickets are available via Brown Paper Tickets.
The Anunnaki Project is an independent, non-profit arts and educational organization based in Seattle, Washington. The organization celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2009 and specializes in “performative mythology,” depiction of myths and stories from cultures that have passed into antiquity via physical theater, dance, and circus arts. The organization receives support for its work from a variety of public and private entities including Seattle Foundation, City of Seattle, King County 4Culture and Lucky7 Foundation.

This sounds so cool! I have been wanting to check out an event like this in Seattle since moving here and haven’t–but a Halloween themed one? That’s even better! I’d love for this to be my first cabaret experience. :)
Our budget doesn’t allow for a lot of date nights, and my wife has definitely earned a special evening out (she’s launching her own business)! As a pastry chef, she loves desserts and since seeing Cirque she loves aerialists – this is a perfect fit.
Fall (and Halloween) is my all time favorite time of year and both my husband and I have been wanting to see a show like this for some time! –And this show falls 2 days after our 2nd year anniversary, so it would be perfect timing on a perfect show!
Wow! This is just the thing that my wife has been talking about! I’d love to take her out to see this for our anniversary!! :)
I’ve always wanted to see Cabaret so why not combine it with my favorite holiday.. i know just the gentleman i’d share this experience with
oh my god this looks amazing! have never seen real cabaret, so this would definitely be a treat :)
This looks epic!
I have a lovely lady that I’ve recently begun seeing and she loves performance art. I think this would be the perfect event to get away from Portland for a little while, and have a romantic evening. If picked, I would certainly appreciate this like no other!
My wife and I just returned from NY and were commenting that we need to find some local arts and venues to begin culturalizing ourselves. This definately sounds like a step in that direction!
I would love to win tickets, because Ive never won anything from Seattle Pipeline before and would like to attend this event.
I’ve never been to a real cabaret before and this looks like fun!
Why should we go? Cause due to different circumstances (having to work, etc) my fiance and I have not spent Halloween together yet in our 4 year relationship! We just moved to Seattle and are looking for a great night out to celebrate our new city. Woot!
Love the idea of such spectacular talent combined with such a spooky theme – spooktacular!
this looks like a great show!
This sounds super awesome and I am always looking for new things to do and check out. Plus I love anything Halloween!
OMG Seattle thank you for having unique and interesting stuff like this! Would love to see beautiful people flying around acting out stories!
I never feel like I have a place to belong on Halloween but this sounds right up my alley!
Congratulations Angela! You have been chosen as the winner!
