Underbelly, Southbank Centre, Strut & Fret Present Cantina May 8- Sept 30

Underbelly, Southbank Centre, Strut & Fret state: "Roll up, roll up for an evening of beautiful, exhilarating and truly breathtaking entertainment. International grunge circus hit Cantina will headline The LonDon Wonderground, a new five-month long festival of cabaret, music, sideshow and circus at London’s Southbank Centre, from 8th May, 2012."

About the show: "An electrifying cocktail of glamorous vaudeville and scintillating circus, Cantina features a brilliant company of Australia's finest circus artists from Circa, La Clique, Acrobat and Circus Oz. Brace yourself for a dark and dangerous world of faded glamour, passion and suspense. As this spectacle of bygone music, magic and remarkable displays of acrobatics and dance unfolds, the line between passion and pain is never quite clear."

Devised by the creators of the Tom Tom Crew, Cantina is fresh from sell-out tours of Australia and Europe. The darkly sexy cabaret feast will make its London premiere this summer, performed inside an exquisite Speigeltent, the centrepiece of The LonDon Wonderground.

The LonDon Wonderground is the brainchild of Underbelly and Southbank Centre and is being jointly presented by both organisations. A brand-new amusement ground for the capital, The LonDon Wonderground will bring a taste of early 20th Century Coney Island to London and will be situated on the transformed coach park between the Royal Festival Hall and the London Eye.

The E4 Udderbelly Festival, with the live entertainment venue shaped like an upside down purple cow, will also return for its fourth year at Southbank Centre, side-by-side the LonDon Wonderground. Both the LonDon Wonderground and Udderbelly festivals will form part of Southbank Centre's site-wide Festival of the World with MasterCard this summer.
