Fire
I thought would try to document some of my favourite fire performance photos from the past six months from sideshows, cabarets, and burlesque clubs... I'll add more later!!
Missy Macabre is the ultimate Fakir Fatale. Dubbed as 'Sideshow Royalty' by British press - Missy is renowned for bringing both class and elegance to the international world of Circus Sideshow and Cabaret.
Thoroughly decadent - with a spectacular display of couture costumes, fearlessness and unique stunts such as the 'Bath of Broken Glass' - Missy constantly pushes the creative boundaries of Sideshow art, combining it with dance, theatricality, eroticism and juxtaposition. This makes her a highly innovative and admired performer within the genre.
Performing a plethora of highly skilled stunts ranging from the Human Blockhead, to the Human Chopping Board on broken glass, she is an extremely prolific fire performer. Missy can easily claim to be the most diligent of female fakirs working in Europe today. Her stunts are executed with poise, confidence and skill. Her shows embody the romanticism of traditional travelling circuses of yesteryear, fused with the ethereal glamour of Weimar cabaret of 1920s Berlin.
As an international headliner, Missy has toured the globe bringing her unique brand of circus to an impressive list of audiences, and corporate clients world wide.
The headpiece is amazing! Or, to be more exact, the whole costume (and images) but the headpiece really crowns it, literally :)
