Tucked away in the artistic heart of Bushwick, Company XIV is not merely a theater or a nightlife venue—it is a lavish, immersive universe where haute culture, sensuality, and decadence collide. Founded by visionary director and choreographer Austin McCormick, Company XIV resurrects the ornate grandeur of Louis XIV’s French court and reimagines it through a modern, intoxicating lens of burlesque, circus arts, opera, and high-fashion cabaret.
The Atmosphere: A Baroque Playground of Opulence
From the moment you step through the discreet velvet doors of their Bushwick playhouse, the outside world dissolves into dark, glittering fantasy.
- Seductive Interiors: Draped in deep crimson velvet, gilded accents, plush seating, and warm candlelight, the venue creates an immediate intimacy that feels both historic and transgressively modern.
- Immersive Storytelling: Audiences are not passive observers; the performers move through the space, interacting with guests and transforming the entire room into a living, breathing stage.
Luxury Accommodations & Experiential Upgrades
In addition to classic theater seating, Company XIV features intimate Champagne Couches for Two People—the quintessential romantic perch for an evening of baroque indulgence.
- Champagne Couches for Two: These plush, velvet-lined couches provide an elevated, ultra-comfortable vantage point designed specifically for pairs. Every reservation includes a split bottle of chilled champagne to sip while immersed in the high-voltage performance.
- French Kiss Lipstick Readings: Guests can indulge in exclusive experiential upgrades like lipstick readings. Apply a fresh coat of lipstick, press your kiss to a keepsake card, and receive an intuitive, sultry reading based on your lip print—a playful and evocative memento of the evening.
- Artisanal Sips & Confections: Pair your night with traditional absinthe service, decadent craft cocktails, and artisanal sweet treats available throughout the show.
Iconic Shows & Performances
Company XIV is famous for reinventing classic fairy tales and cultural myths with breathtaking acrobatic prowess, operatic vocals, and opulent costumes:
- Nutcracker Rouge: The company’s legendary holiday spectacle—a dark, sensual, and sparkling reinvention of the classic ballet.
- Cocktail Magique: A glittering blend of illusion, magic, circus arts, and mixology where cocktails are crafted and served as part of the performance itself.
- Queen of Hearts & Ferdinand: Erotic, imaginative adaptations of classic stories brought to life by world-class dancers, aerialists, and opera singers.
