Cirque de la Vie presents Community Cabaret

Our journey has begun with Crossroads Cabaret and we continue to grow with our community outreach program: Cirque de la Vie presents: Community Cabaret!

We're on a mission to bring smiles, music and entertainment to senior care and nursing home residents. Our goal? To alleviate loneliness and depression by offering premium, variety-style performances to a portion of society that is often forgotten.

Community Cabaret will be available on-location and virtually through our patreon channel.

About Us

From the depths of purgatory and through the shadows of the bayou Cirque des Morts Vauceville Society rises to bring you a true vaudevillian experience to entertain and delight.

But beware... It may cost you your soul.

In the beginning Cirque des Morts began as a humble yard display, put together with doting care by a Halloween-loving family. Over the years it had become the neighborhood spectacular, complete with a full circus tent, performances, and many, many skeletons including our beloved Charlie, the 12ft Home Depot skeleton.

2023 marks the beginning of Cirque des Morts' new chapter of full-scale, year-round productions and community programs.

We offer performances for all ages or the strictly 19+ crowd, such as full Vaudevillian variety shows, singular acts from our in-house circus performers, as well as "Halloween-for-hire".

Let our creatures of the night give your guests an event to remember...

the purpose of our society is to:

To provide the Lower Mainland with financially accessible vaudeville style entertainment for both family and adults that fuses the traditional with the modern, highlighting cultural diversity, LGBTQ2AI+ and crossing class boundaries.

To offer paid stage time to local artists and entertainers that allows for creative freedom at a fair and competitive rate.

In a nutshell; we strive to create fun and entertaining art at an affordable price!
