Kingfish and Zip the What-Is-It? of the Hubba Hubba Revue will bring their space-aged zaniness to Berkeley, and the town will never be the same! Be dazzled by the whirling deep-space dervish that is Delilah. Watch in amazement at the astronomical talents of Alotta Boutté. Get krazed by that komet known as Kitten Kandy. Be blasted away by Bunny Pistol. Get stunned to death by the photon torpedo that is Francine Dead. See all these performers and more, including a burlesque photography show by that photographer to the stars, Mr. Johnny Crash!
This show will be one of the few which have a lower age limit of 18, so that means that most Cal students can cross over Strawberry Creek to see a burlesque show. And it's only $5! Inexpensive enough to fit into a student's entertainment budget!
It's all happening at the new Saturn Cafe in Berkeley. Before the show, you can get some grub at this space-age vegetarian diner. Nachos, salads, burgers, sweet potato fries, mac n' cheese, and more make this the healthy alternative to dining out. And don't forget the milkshakes! I've heard they're out of this world! You can see their menu on their website at www.saturncafe.com.
It appears that there will be a monthly burlesque show at the Saturn Cafe. On Wednesday, November 17, Red Hots Burlesque will stage a show at the Space Lounge. Yay for Berkeley burlesque!
Neo-burlesque is an interesting juxtaposition of the modern and retro. As John C. McCall of Cabaret Decadence has said in a Planetshifter.com interview concerning mythographic mapping of Planet Burlesque:
We don't reenact the past, we reinvent it. We like to say "we travel the past not take (sic)" - in doing so we create a kind of provocative nostalgia for pleasures not available from the store, and lives not alienated from meaning. For the seeker, the deeper mysteries are developed further in the "para-performative" mythographics that can be traced in our web presence.How true that is! Even though that's referring to a different Planet Burlesque, it seems appropriate here. And it's so thought-provoking! It's deep, man. And you are indeed reading a para-performative work of art, by the way.
So this Thursday in Berkeley, boldly go back in time to where no burlesque audience has gone before! Head on over to the Saturn Cafe at warp speed, and make it a night on Planet Burlesque with your crew!
