Striptease! (2009)
“Striptease is neither ‘strip’ nor ‘tease’ … it is a parody.. I am a clown: you make people believe you are speaking the naked truth, but the deception could not be greater.” – Alain Bernardin, director of the “Crazy Horse”
How much naked flesh would you like to see of an attractive young person? How intimate do feel you are bonding with that person? And why do they seem so sad? Striptease! is an original one-on-one performance that explores the relationship between nudity, intimacy, responsibility and truth.
Striptease is a devised play by the company.
