abstract:
“Striptease” is a striptease to the theater
and to its gaze. A striptease, a performance and a conference, which
humoristically and ironically compares the theatrical event with the
art of undressing.
What are we expecting to see when we go to the theater? And when do
we go to see a striptease? And when do we go to see a theater show called
“striptease”?
“Striptease” talks about these expectations; about the mechanism of
desire in both conventions; about the seductive relationship between
performer and spectator. A spectator, which who’s gaze finally becomes
the main protagonist of this striptease.
