WAVES OF BURLESQUE

Documentary – 27 min (2022)
A live documentary program exploring burlesque and how it contributes to personal and societal liberation. In ‘Waves of Burlesque’ (dir. Colina van Bemmel) we follow burlesque performers navigating the contrast between their sensual alter ego on stage and their roles in the outside world. Layer by layer, they expose themselves to the public while trying to change the unwritten rules of society.

To bring this film to the next level, we arranged special cinema events, where each screening was accompanied by panel discussions and live performances. These events took place in various cinemas across the Netherlands.
