Event

Burlesco Notturno

Open Space for Arts & Community quietly introduces a dazzling new event, Burlesco Notturno: a sexy, saucy soiree on Vashon.

In the nouveau burlesque tradition that waves back to Gyspy Rose Lee, Burlesco Notturno brings some of the Northwest's most extraordinary burlesque artists together for an evening of exotic entertainment on Vashon. The nouveau burlesque tradition is firmly rooted in Seattle, and is celebrated in venues such as The Triple Door, The Pampas Room, The Pink Door, Teatro ZinZanni's "Mezzo Lunatico" and many others.

Hosted by the infamous Mme X and Teatro Zinzanni star (and Vashon favorite) Kevin Kent, Burlesco Notturno also features Broadway veteran Rebecca Spencer singing to the musical orchestrations conceived by pianist Philip Fortenberry, aerialist Esther Edelman performing with live accompaniment by renowned cellist Jami Sieber, the music of Seattle band the Zebra Kings, and international burlesque stars Inga Ingenue and Miss Indigo Blue.
