Joy Goodwin writes, "Down under the Brooklyn Bridge, near the site of the old Fulton Fish Market, the portable carnival known as Spiegelworld... [debuts thier] brand-new "Désir," billed as a cirque show with a through line (à la Cirque du Soleil) about the backstage lives and loves of a collection of 1920s Parisian nightclub performers." How is it? She writes, "Ironically, the best acts have little to do with eroticism — and everything to do with pacing. Marawa Ibrahim comes out in a skirt made of phallic bananas, fishnets, and heels, but that's not why her act works. Her set takes flight because Ms. Ibrahim is gifted not only with a phenomenal talent for keeping Hula-hoops aloft — she can spin two dozen of them at once — but with a theatrical flair: She's a rubber-faced goof with impeccable timing. As she steadily builds her act to a series of ever-higher peaks, she punctuates her feats with delicious expressions: a pursed-lip Betty Boop 'ooh,' or a coy flutter of her false eyelashes." New York Sun. The show runs in New York through November 2nd.
