Tease
Tease is a burlesque variety show that combines clown, sketch comedy, improv, music, and dance. Avoiding the trap of creating work that was too self-serious and preachy but delves into topics such as sexual objectification, female sexuality, rape culture, race, hook-up culture, and religion. It challenges society’s patriarchal views and sexist expectations while not hesitating to poke fun at its own “woke” packaging.
