SAARLORLUX BURLESQUE FESTIVAL
The festival
A small stage, supported by a whole community. In Saarbrücken, we bring international artists and audiences together. Close to the stage. With time for each other.
By artists.
For artists.
The festival is supported by a volunteer team from Saarland’s burlesque community. The people who make it happen are performers themselves. They know what it means to feel looked after before and after an act.
Absinthique and Herr Impresario curate each evening so that the acts complement each other. Newcomers, starlets and stars meet on stage and backstage. The volunteer community team helps make those encounters possible.
Burlesque
Creative costumes, playing with the audience, short stories: burlesque is as diverse as its artists. Playful, wild, critical or funny.
SaarLorLux
Saarbrücken is our home. Saarland’s burlesque community sustains the festival and opens it to encounters with artists and audiences from the Greater Region and beyond.
Fourth edition. A character of its own.
Since 2024, the SaarLorLux Burlesque Festival has brought international artists to Saarbrücken. Our fourth edition runs from 8 to 10 April 2027: The Cocktail Night on Thursday, The Martini Night on Friday and The Champagne Night on Saturday. The two main shows take place at Baker Street im Hirsch.
Burlesque plays with the art of undressing. What gives an act its character is the idea, the costume and its relationship with the audience. We make room for that variety.
A community that does more than watch.
For our scene, the festival is a place to come together, meet international peers and be seen. The community sustains the festival. The festival gives that community room.
