The legendary, velvet-trimmed, genre busting THE BURLESQUE HOUR is back at The Street Theatre to kick start the 2010 Season, with provocative new acts that defy expectations.
A worldwide cult sensation, The Burlesque Hour isn’t tassles and tease. It’s a completely different beast. It’s more than a show: it’s an event, a destination. Genre-busting, intriguing, provocative, totally unique – and beloved by audiences around the world, Finucane & Smith’s The Burlesque Hour has defined burlesque for the 21st century.
It’s a show where striptease and cartoon strip, showgirl and showstopper, vaudeville and variety, circus and sideshow, music-hall and mayhem are hijacked by four astonishing performance art divas: Mistress of Grand Guignol MOIRA FINUCANE, Japanese butoh dancer and shock cabaret artiste YUMI UMIUMARE, circus and burlesque siren AZARIA UNIVERSE and elegant iconoclast MAUDE DAVEY. This is performance that dares to cross art forms, to be unique, and to defy stereotypes.
Critics have raved. 45,000 audience members around the world have left wanting more. Canberra begged for a return season. Kicking off the Street’s 2010 season with a bang, She’s Back! by popular demand, with a revved up mix of gobsmacking new acts, hot new stars, and spectacular requests.
. Be dazzled by favourites like the international sensation that nearly caused a riot in a London club Queen of Hearts in a red-velvet bikini, three-inch spikes and 150 red balloons, and Dairy Queen, a seven foot Amazon with four litres of milk! .
. Be charmed by two new guest artists: Miss Toni LAMOND, the patron of Canberra performing arts, the legend of Australian Variety, a Member of the Order of Australia and the Ultimate Showgirl; . and Jess LOVE: Guinness Book of Records hula hoop star and international swinging sensation, with her hot late night trapeze! .
. Be amazed by provocative new acts inspired by the nightclubs of Tokyo and Berlin; eighteenth century bodice rippers in fabulous ball gowns; desire dressed as death . marble skin under black rain.
