Past Shows/Events
Karma Hotel
May 23rd - June 1st. 2025
Welcome to Karma Hotel, an immersive dance-theatre thriller that turns Flux Theatre into a supernatural lodging where guests are trapped in karmic loops of desire, regret, and sin. Original choreography, live music, and spine-tingling stage illusions swirl around the audience, blurring the line between spectator and story as the hotel “remembers” everyone who checks in—and never quite lets them leave.
Crimson Cabaret
August 3rd - 10th. 2024
Flux Vertical Theatre presents a Noir Dance Theatre Production. Unravel the mystery. Uncover their dark secrets. Become complicit in the crimes that unfold. Flirt with the femme fatales and be seduced by their lethal elegance.
Eulogy
Our Annual October Ritual
Eulogy is a Maynard-inspired cabaret of pole, burlesque and aerial set to the music of TOOL/Puscifer. Brooding, visceral and cathartic, it explores loss and transformation in true Halloween style. It’s Flux’s annual October ode to loss, transformation, and the beauty that can bloom in the dark.
FVT Gala
Yearly
Equal parts red-carpet soirée and full-scale production, Flux’s Annual Black-Tie Gala pairs champagne toasts, live performances, photo-booth glam and a spirited silent auction—all in support of scholarships, costumes and keeping our community stage alive. It’s the night the artists dress up, the audience cheers loud, and every bid fuels the next year of boundary-pushing work.
Midsummer Nights Fantasy
July 15th - 23rd. 2023
Shakespeare meets seduction in this immersive re-imagining of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Aerial silks, pole duets, and sensual choreography weave through the forest of lovers and trickster fae, inviting the crowd (costumes encouraged) to sip champagne and step into a dream where love is equal parts joy and folly.

Cabaret Perilous
Co-produced with the legendary Hubba Hubba Revue, Cabaret Perilous is a variety extravaganza of circus, sideshow, pole, and burlesque hosted by Kingfish & Mz.K. Expect champagne, popcorn, and acts that escalate from playful to perilous—perfect for thrill-seekers craving a four-hour roller-coaster of spectacle.
Nouvelle
Nouvelle is our incubator show for rising talent—an intimate night dedicated to brand-new Bay Area pole artists and emerging dancers, giving amateurs their first taste of the Flux stage and audiences a chance to spot tomorrow’s stars today.
Whole Lotta Love
Annual Valentines Show
Every February we crank the amps for Whole Lotta Love, a burlesque Valentine to Led Zeppelin that marries blistering guitar riffs with rhinestones, pole acrobatics, rowdy audience tipping and VIP table service. A fun and exciting collaboration with Showgirl Temple.
Devour
A Night of Pole and Dance
Staged at San Francisco’s iconic Great Northern, Devour is our long-running pole-dance variety feast—rotating guest stars, high-energy talent and a booty shaking contest for the history books make it the city’s tastiest, most athletic night out.
Down N Dirty - Hubba Hubba
Bi annual
Twice a year Flux teams up with Hubba Hubba Revue at DNA Lounge for Down N Dirty—a no-holds-barred pole and burlesque romp that revels in everything raw, rowdy and gloriously irreverent (sometimes launching Pride month, always leaving the crowd hoarse).
VOID
Flux Vertical Theatre’s inaugural full-length work, VOID dove head-first into the empty spaces we carry and the ways we try to fill them—blending narrative pole and contemporary dance into a raw, cinematic exploration that laid the groundwork for every story we’ve told since. Our first artist in residence program at Kinetic Arts Center where we got our start!
FLUXXX
Where it all began! We started dancing on the historic Mitchell Brothers Stage in 2018.
