The extraordinary BruLesk cabaret is an artistic project that intends to create a contemporary urban cabaret. It is a platform that questions this subculture through cliches and experiments and looks into different concepts and presentation modes exploring the potential of such a cabaret. BruLesk touches the borders of contemporary dance, cabaret and burlesque, brought together in an evening filling show. Six evenings over six months explore subjects as desire, gender and eroticism through peepshow, circus acts, pole dancing, erotic dance, macho dance, …  and rethinks the notions of cabaret and presentation formats in the contemporary arts and performance landscape. BruLesk invites dancers, musicians, theoreticians, performance artists, video artists to challenge and reflect upon this ‘new’ mode of co-creation, production and presentation within the contemporary European cultural and economical arts scene, and invites the audience to come with an open mind and enjoy the show.
