Bringing together the diverse talents of over 50 of North America’s premier burlesque, drag, and cabaret artists, The Toronto Burlesque Festival returns October 3-6, 2024 under the neon palms of the legendary El Mocambo with four sultry showcases of glamour, humour, and high-caliber performances rooted in messages of diversity, inclusivity and body-positivity.
Burlesque Legend, Ka’ena (Hawaii), a traditional Polynesian dancer who began her burlesque career as a teenager in the 1950s, will be headlining, leading a dance workshop, and doing a talk-back at the closing high-tea brunch matinee on October 6. The Sky-High Tea with Ka’ena will also include feature troupe Indigibabes a Toronto based burlesque collective of Indigenous artists, activists and aunties interested in empowering themselves and their communities, by challenging the dominate culture narratives of Indigenous 2 Spirit, Trans and Cis Women.
