ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
I invite you to the first international festival of my production, during which we will choose a new Queen or a new King of burlesque! If you know my Revues, you know that you can expect the best lineup, the most beautiful views, the most shiny costumes, the least correct jokes and simply the most spectacular show!
The event has the form of a competition in which prizes are awarded by an experienced jury consisting of the greatest stars of the burlesque world! Who will it be? You'll find out soon... There will also be an audience award, so remember that your vote counts!
Festival schedule
The event ends around 11 p.m.
The first day of the festival is about discovering new styles and ideas in the field of neo-burlesque, i.e. the one that is not necessarily dripping with feathers and glitter, but represents a full cross-section of unusual shows, extravagant ideas and unusual solutions! A modern approach to the art of seduction from the stage combined sometimes with technology, sometimes with circus, and sometimes with things that even the oldest highlanders would not come up with will leave you in awe and will significantly expand the current meaning of the word "burlesque".
The following prizes will be awarded on this day:
- Queen/King of Neoburlesque Award - along with a cash prize!
- Princess/Prince of Neoburlesque Award
- Audience Award
- Madame de Minou's Golden Ticket
The event ends around 11 p.m.
The second day of the festival is a tribute to classic burlesque, i.e. corsets, feathers and stockings. Here, sex appeal mixes with elegant humor, waists are tightened by corsets until the underwires creak, and guests pick out glitter from their drinks. A riot of colorful costumes, the lightness of feathers and the unbridled energy of the artists combine in a phenomenal mixture of impressions, all of this to delight and maybe win the crown at the same time...
The following prizes will be awarded on this day:
- Queen/King of Classic Burlesque Award - along with a cash prize!
- Princess/Prince of Classic Burlesque Award
- Audience Award
- Madame de Minou's Golden Ticket
Since we already have such great artists gathered here, let's take advantage of their knowledge and experience! Jury members will conduct unique workshops for people of various levels of advancement, including complete beginners!
