A dazzling dive into New York’s Neo-Burlesque scene, where glitter meets grit and every three-minute act becomes a bold statement of art and identity.

Set in the heart of New York’s electrifying Neo-Burlesque movement, this documentary uncovers a world where performance, politics, and empowerment collide. Through humour, sensuality, and subversive art, performers reclaim their bodies and voices, transforming the stage into a platform for freedom, feminism, and fearless self-expression.

Rialto Recommends: Obscene Beauty. This bold and provocative portrait of New York’s Neo-Burlesque scene where satire, sexuality, and social commentary sparkle under the spotlight. It’s more than performance; it’s rebellion wrapped in sequins, celebrating the art of owning your story, one shimmy at a time.
