A SPIEGELWORLD premiere. Pretençión is the place where Mystery sits at a table with Elegance, and Imagination orders a round of drinks before dinner. It is a world where those drinks are served by a pompous clown. Join Pinchbottom on a sensual quest for Pretençión, an imaginary yet sexy element that turns burlesque performers from "Jerkques" (ordinary people) into self-important "Cirques": infuriatingly magical, unendurably spellbinding artistes who peel away the mundane with every layer of clothing. Step into the world of Pretençión -- but be careful not to trip on the magic. Starring Nasty Canasta & Jonny Porkpie, plus Bastard Keith, Naughtia Nice, and Tigger!, with special guest stars 9/13: Amber Ray & Muffinhead, Clams Casino, Creamy Stevens, and Trixie Little & The Evil Hate Monkey and 10/18: Delirium Tremens, Dirty Martini, GiGi La Femme, and Little Brooklyn
