BLACK ORCHID BURLESQUE FOR TINA’S


Black Orchid Burlesque presents an authentic burlesque show celebrating the true essence of the art form, the tease, at the Rhumbelow Theatre at Tina’s Hotel in Kloof from April 3 to 7, 2019.

Featuring professional performing artistes from around the country, this show is set to dazzle Durban with something they have never seen before. Immerse yourself in the glitz and glamour of yesteryear as they take you on a journey of tastefully titillating dance acts and glitter galore.

Hosted by South Africa’s Original Dame of Burlesque, Diva Disastar, this show promises bold sensuality with a touch of sophistication and a few good laughs. Showcasing some of Johannesburg and Cape Town’s best of burlesque and boylesque, audiences can expect the unexpected at this breath-taking extravaganza of feathers and fun. Call the babysitter and put on your favourite high heels for a cheeky night of classy adult entertainment you’ll never forget!

Black Orchid Burlesque is the pioneering force behind the introduction of burlesque to a South African audience. Starting in Cape Town in 2007, they strive to promote their art form across the country by educating people about exploring self-expression and body positivity through performance art.

“We are very excited to present the first authentic burlesque showcase of this kind in KZN and look forward to bringing our burly flair to Durban,” says a spokesperson.
