'show' is the definition.
(I know that cabaret is a type of show)

'bear struggling in the grip of a wild animal' is the wordplay.
'struggling' is an anagram indicator (the letters struggle or wriggle into a new form).
'in the grip of' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a wild animal' becomes 'cat' (cats are animals. I am not sure about the 'wild' bit.).
'bear' anagrammed gives 'bare'.
'bare' put inside 'cat' is 'CABARET'.

'the' is the link.
