The Little Beau Peep Show: un spectacle burlesque satirique qui en met plein la vue 2

Aye-aye-aye, il y avait de l'action hier au Café Cléopâtre! Tout au long d'un spectacle burlesque haut en couleur de 2h, on a pu voir s'enchainer costumes, effeuillage, chant, danse et totale débauche! The Little Beau Peep Show est une représentation pro corps, pro sexe, queer et humoristique qui divertit en plus de surprendre (nos photos en témoignent!). Déçu de ne pas avoir pu y assister hier? Pas de soucis! Le show se poursuit le 13, 14, et 15 juin.
