Learning to accept yourself for you who truly are is an empowering and essential moment in everyone’s lives. Finding a creative outlet to express your true self is even more vital for people’s journey to maturity. That internal road to self discovery and approval is powerfully highlighted in the new documentary, ‘Burlesque: Heart Of the Glitter Tribe.’ In honor of the film’s upcoming release, Shockya is premiering an exclusive clip.
The movie is set to be distributed in theaters on Friday, and on VOD and iTunes on Tuesday, by XLrator Media. Jon Manning directed ‘Burlesque: Heart Of the Glitter Tribe,’ which features Angelique DeVil, Zora Von Pavonine, Babs Jamboree, Stage Door Johnnies, Sandria Dore’, Isaiah Esquire, Violet Ohmigod, Russell Bruner and Ivizia Dakini.
The documentary explores the world of burlesque and its growing popularity across the U.S. The film invites audiences to experience this art form up close and personal, and witness its evolution from old world burlesque to “neo-burlesque,” which combines classic striptease with modern dance, comedy and even fire acts.
Burlesque shows have become a movement from coast to coast with hot acts in New York (including ‘The Box,’ ‘Circus Revue,’ ‘Teaseohhhrama’ and ‘Wasabassco’) and in Los Angeles (‘The LaLas,’ ‘Lucha VaVoom,’ ‘Monday Night Tease’ and ‘Triptease’). Behind these performances are dedicated individuals who embody this creative and artistic form of expression.
XLrator Media has released the following synopsis for the documentary:
‘Burlesque: Heart Of the Glitter Tribe’ is a documentary feature about the passion and personalities at the heart of today’s new wave of burlesque. On stage and in candid conversation, twelve of today’s hottest performers reveal the naked truth about an exotic world where artifice is a route to authenticity and pretending to be someone else is the ultimate journey to become yourself. These burlesquers put it all on the line in performances that are sexy, funny, elegant and outrageous – and they bare more than just their bodies as they discuss their artistic vision, their financial struggles, the misconceptions that infuriate them and the community that sustains them.
