20.-22. März 2026

Nach dem großen Erfolg des ersten Burlesque Festival Mainz im April 2025, freuen wir uns, Sie zu einer Fortsetzung in 2026 einzuladen: Wir feiern nicht nur die hohe Kunst der Verführung, sondern ebenso Diversity und Bodypositivity.

Im Rahmen der Burlesque-Shows am Freitag und Samstag in der Alten Lokhalle Mainz strahlen glamouröse Diven neben komödiantischen Paradiesvögeln. Erleben Sie alle Facetten der Burlesque: von cute bis kinky, von weird bis wonderful – “The Art of the Tease” hält für jeden Geschmack etwas bereit. Schlendern Sie über den Festival Markt, nehmen Sie am Sonntag an einem der vielfältigen Workshops teil und treffen Sie die Performer*innen auf der Aftershow Party.

Ein kleiner Teaser…

Coco Charnelle – Burlesque Performer from France

Bertie Monroe

Freshly born, barely behaved, and already breaking hearts. This newly hatched drag king is a cheeky chappy with English charm, roguish good looks, and a wink that should come with a warning label. Put your hands together (and maybe your knickers on tighter) for BERTIE MONROE!
