BURLESQUE MAIL ART CALL:

What is burlesque ...?

1. A literary or dramatic work that seeks to ridicule by means of grotesque exaggeration or comic imitation

2. mockery usually by character

3. theatrical entertainment of a broadly humorous often earthy character of short turns, comic skits and sometimes striptease acts

Burlesque is a direct descendant of the Comedia dell'arte where principal characters would carry a "burle" - a stick with a padded end - with which they would slap the other players for comic effect (the origin of "slapstick" comedy). Burlesque performers often create elaborate sets with lush, colourful costumes, mood-appropriate music and dramatic lighting. Burlesque is a style of entertainment that encompasses pastiche, parody and wit.

birds sing skies
symphonies

their wings
set with song
for those who come
to see the crimson
in their fair eyes ...
