Burlesque performances are theatrical shows that combine elements of comedy, dance, and music. They often feature elaborate costumes and playful, exaggerated acts that entertain audiences. The style is rooted in the tradition of parody and satire, often poking fun at societal norms and expectations. Typically, burlesque includes a variety of acts, such as striptease, cabaret, and variety performances. Performers, often called burlesque artists, use humor and sensuality to engage the audience. The art form has evolved over the years, gaining popularity in both historical and contemporary contexts, celebrating body positivity and self-expression.
