If you’re the type who always leaves the best plans for the last minute, this is your wake-up call: AirOtic Soirée is preparing to “bid farewell” to Lisbon’s nightlife at Espaço Laboratório on Avenida Infante Dom Henrique. After taking major U.S. cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York by storm, this sensual and intimate event will close its doors on August 1. And the best part? In this final stretch, the organizers have decided to launch a special campaign offering a 15% discount.
Weekend plans in Lisbon almost always follow the same formula: dinner at a popular restaurant, followed by a drink at a bustling bar. However, this show—designed for those looking to break away from the routine—is much more than just a performance; it’s a display of sensuality and circus artistry that leaves no one indifferent. And if you haven’t been yet, this is literally your last chance to experience an immersive cabaret that blends burlesque with high-level acrobatics, all set in a deliberately mysterious and seductive atmosphere .
Aerial acrobatics just a few meters away
If the word “circus” brings to mind giant tents and clowns, erase that image immediately. Created by Stephane Haffner (of the prestigious performance company Les Farfadais) and former U.S. gymnastics champion Kyle Kier, AirOtic showcases physical talent that defies gravity.
The performers execute complex aerial maneuvers just a few meters from the audience. The cast’s strength and extreme flexibility blend with daring choreography, resulting in a visual narrative marked by passion and eroticism.
The venue’s limited capacity ensures that every audience member feels the tension on stage, so much so that moments of absolute silence are common in the room, interrupted only by applause for impressive acrobatic feats.
But the experience begins long before the acrobats take the stage: the immersion is planned from the very first minute, with guests welcomed with a selection of cocktails to whet their appetites before the lights dim.
However, the big difference compared to more traditional shows comes at the end: while on most stages the performers disappear when the curtain falls, here the dynamic is reversed—because when the show ends, the audience is invited to extend the night and mingle with the cast.
This exclusive after-party offers an excellent alternative for groups of friends or couples looking for an experience that’s completely out of the box.
