 The legendary, burlesque-eats-its-young salon that has had critics raving and festival audiences around the world drooling comes home to Melbourne, in a last stop before Shanghai, with Burlesque Hour … Legends. From London comes the purveyor of the internationally infamous hanky strip, Ursula Martinez, together with three-time Helpmann and Green Room award winner Paul Capsis, and Miss Toni Lamond. Add to that Mistress of Grand Guignol Moira Finucane, electric shock butoh dancer Yumi Umiumare, smouldering circus siren Azaria Universe, elegant iconoclast Maude Davey, and the growing kitten-exploitation legend of wild dancers, Kitten K.O. and you have Burlesque Hour … Legends. The Burlesque Hour … Legends at fortyfivedownstairs, 45 Flinders Lane, City, June 25 to August 2, 2009. Bookings: (03) 9662 9966 or www.fortyfivedownstairs.com |
