BURLESQUE ...
Across Europe everyone is talking about it! And it’s growing quickly!
Berlin,
Burlesque
is
gaining
popularity,
and
bringing
in
a
big,
In
colourful,
diverse audiences.
In all it's facets, from classic, glamorous Burlesque á la Dita von Teese with
glittery,
Swarovski
decorated
parodies and avant garde
costumes
and
feather-fans,
to
grotesque
performance art, Burlesque plays with a high level
of seduction and sensuality, as well as with the natural beauty of the body
(female or male). And always with a coquettish wink!
The third BERLIN BURLESQUE FESTIVAL ...
In the big cultural metropolises - London, Paris, Rome, New York, Tokyo,
Sydney – annual Burlesque Festivals have been taking place for several years,
and it is finally time for Berlin!
Performers and guests from all over the world will come together to create a
multifaceted community. From young to old, male, female, from millionaires
to
students,
the
passion
for
classy
eroticism
and
excitement
for
the
unexpected connect them all.
The crème de la crème of Burlesque is coming to Berlin, and our audience
will dive into the world of glamour, glitter and beauty for a weekend.
With
enormeous
success,
three
sold
out
nights
each
and
a
great
press
coverage we established the Berlin Burlesque Festival in the last two years.
From the beginning we decided: THINK BIG! So what better place could we
find than the famous Berlin Wintergarten?
In September 2015 the festival opens it's doors for the second time...
