Cirque Berzerk

EQUAL parts trippy and sinister, Cirque Berzerk seems like the sort of phantasmagoric spectacle Tim Burton would dream up if he quit filmmaking to join the circus. With masks and characters that look as though they'd be at home in Jack Skellington's world, this 35-member troupe, which has previously staged several dinner-theater shows and Burning Man jaunts, presents "Beneath," its first full-length extravaganza under the big top, starting today.
