Documentary

According to the Wikipedia.com...
"Burlesque is a humorous theatrical entertainment involving parody and sometimes grotesque exaggeration. Prior to Burlesque becoming associated with striptease, it was a form of musical and theatrical parody in which an opera or piece of classical theatre is adapted in a broad, often risqué style very different from that for which it was originally known."


I am curious to discover more about the inner workings of this performance genre and to share with you the mindset of contemporary burlesque performers. For now, here is a story about The 2008 New York Burlesque Festival, and a Loie Fuller inspired performance by Vicky Butterfly.

it's all about the tease
