IN FLAGRANTE Announces Second Season In Melbourne
In Flagrante blindsided Melbourne audiences and critics last May at the city's much loved The Butterfly Club with a brand of 'neo' Burlesque never quite seen before, at a venue with highly refined appetites for the novel and bizarre.
Auckland based In Flagrante premiered at Edinburgh's Fringe Festival in 2013 to rave reviews and effervescent audience reaction. It brings to the table an ever evolving and unique fusion of contemporary dance influenced hyper sexualised and deeply comedic vignettes that mock patriarchy in fiendish and extremely original ways.
Described by Australian Stage's Lee Bemrose as "...the whole thing, all these little stories, it was all so good" In Flagrante deals up lonely North Korean traffic girls, wet nurse fetishes and steam punk super heroines. A show that doubles down on female sexual empowerment with an uncompromising satiric eye.
Set to a compellingly eclectic music score from the smoky trip hop of Klaus Waldeck's 'Ballroom Stories' and David Lynch's otherworldly 'Snake Eyes' to Nick Cave's beautifully brooding 'Water's Edge', In Flagrante is a guaranteed hot start to a great night out with friends that'll keep tongues wagging for a long time after the show's over.
