Burlesque, as the edgy, outspoken, colourful art form that it is, is always evolving and shifting shapes. It’s come a long way from its bawdy, satirical beginnings, yet retains that satirical voice, as a comment on the world we live in.
Burlesque is raunchy, colourful and comedic, with its costumery, characters, theatricality, song and commentary. At the same time, it is an intimate and liberating form of self-expression.
