Adults-Only Acrobatics

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
There’s a circus on the New York City pier of South Street Seaport, but it’s not for kids. The adults-only variety show, called “Absinthe,” bills itself as acro-burlesque. The biggest draw is the acrobatic rollerskating pair, Jean-Pierre and Wanda Poisenette, also known as the Skating Willers. Ross Mollison, the director and producer of “Absinthe,” joins the Skating Willers to talk about acro-burlesque.
