Burlesque But what does it mean today?
"The Burlesque is a liturgy of eroticism. A strip that mixes humor and seduction, without vulgarity. For my performances I recall icons inspired by the beauty even in periods of history where this kind did not exist. He was born in the mid-nineteenth century, was a show for the follies of the poor who frequented brothels and taverns. I have reviewed. "
How?
"I dressed as a ballerina music box, for example. A classical dancer who suddenly is turned upside down by jazz and began to strip of remaining with the whirling tassels on her nipples. In Viareggio bring a new character, Marie Antoinette. Do I have a sage green brocade dress and a tricorn hat with birds, a suffocating corset on very large breasts and a skirt, eighteenth century. The Queen dances to the tune of harpsichords but eventually goes mad and is stripped naked by the 'hula-op. The tease, freeing it from the aura of tragedy with which he paints the historiography. This is Burlesque. "
How much success for a pin-up, a stripper refined and clowning in the era of bare taxes paid by TV and advertising?
"Maybe that's why. The audience attending the Burlesque hates vulgarity on television, would take a less violent sexuality. By the way, is also an elite audience, recognizing the true eroticism in lightness and in the 'irony'.
seems that you do not love much TV, but the "Chiambretti night" made you known to the general public?
"But television is not like other Chiambretti. I accepted because I liked the things he did. However, it is a cold place: in front of the camera there is no communication. Burlesque is the dialogue, winks, small gestures, a ritual. As indeed is the attraction, the real one. "
