Primarily a striptease show, it features women and men playing with their bodies with glamour and a touch of irony.</div><div><br></div><div> In the grand tradition of American-style entertainment, and in the manner of an illustrated lesson, the Burlesque Klub troupe dissects all facets of the movement with poetic, funny, and utterly kitschy acts. The meticulous staging and retro aesthetic, complete with feathers and sequins, characterize this show, which is brimming with good humor and infectious energy.</div>
