Why should I apply to Prague Burlesque Festival?
We’re an inspiring festival of variety arts and burlesque, that will
take place in the Golden City of Prague 2020. A 100 years earlier,
Prague used to be one of the richest and most cultural places in
Europe, with the biggest film studios at the time, even topping
Hollywood. The peak of this era also emerged vaudeville, cabaret
and of course burlesque. Later, after years of suffering several
occupations and political suppression, the Velvet Revolution
brought attention back to Prague again. Sonny Vargas and Miss
Cool Cat, are the producers of a non-competing burlesque
happening, which will connect open minded individuals with
respect to gender equality.
