I liked the acrobatics but what the h-ll was the storyline? It was like homoerotica.

It's not at all what you expect from a show with such a name. If you have seen Absinthe presented by the same troppe, it's an exact copy of it but performed in different costumes and without jokes. It was indeed very well-performed, but there was nothing provoking or alluring about it. I expected it to be filled with seduction and beauty. Instead it was a very well performed acrobatic circus show. If you choose between the two shows, definitely go for Absinthe instead!

Desir was good but we were all a little disappointed because we went to Absinthe last year and it was much better. Desir kind of started and ended without anyone announcing or talking during the show, it was just one act after another. It was just a little boring. Overall if this is the first performance that people will see in spiegel tent they will like Desir. But i think for those who saw Absinthe will find Desir a little boring
