SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
Why does burlesque matter? In this episode, burlesque performers and hosts Diva Darling and Mx. Eden dive deep into their craft, unpacking the ways burlesque subverts patriarchal norms about what is sexy and who gets to take up space. Diva explains how she loves to give the audience “confusion boners” and Eden leaves us with a whole new image of Winnie the Pooh.
This conversation touches on:
- What a burlesque show is like and how it’s different from stripping
- The overlap between burlesque and erotica and how burlesque must answer the important question: why is this person taking off their clothes?
- Representation in burlesque across body type and race—and why that matters
- How burlesque challenges heteronormative and white supremacist concepts of sexiness
And if all that’s not reason enough to care about burlesque? Well, it’s also just plain hot.
