INTERNATIONAL BURLESQUE FESTIVAL · 2027
A small stage.
Room to be yourself.
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.
8–10 April 2027Saarbrücken · Germany

Burlesque. A stage. A meeting place.
Burlesque combines dance, theatre, humour and the art of undressing. Each act tells its own story through costume, music and a distinctive stage persona. Sometimes playful, sometimes bold, sometimes quiet. Always full of personality.
At the SaarLorLux Burlesque Festival, international artists meet the Greater Region’s burlesque community. From 8 to 10 April 2027, we celebrate our fourth edition in Saarbrücken with The Cocktail Night, The Martini Night and The Champagne Night. Three evenings to discover burlesque and meet one another.

SAARBRÜCKEN · SAARLORLUX · EUROPE
A meeting place.
Across borders.
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.
Two producers. A whole team.
Absinthique and Herr Impresario shape the festival’s artistic direction. A volunteer team of performers from Saarland’s burlesque community makes it possible. They do more than take on tasks: they help sustain the festival itself.
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.
