What the heck is Alterna-TEASE?
Alterna-TEASE is a festival focusing on having fun, building community, and showcasing the best and most interesting neo-burlesque. Alterna-TEASE finds beauty in the bizarre, the wonderful in the weird, and the sexy in the strange. We aim to feature acts that push the boundaries of traditional burlesque, whether it be conceptually, politically, or artistically. Events will include performance showcases, a weirdo pageant, and social gatherings.

Femme Brulée Femme Brulée has been seen across the country diving into cakes, breaking out of eggshells, leading a chorus line of tap-dancing lobsters, and morphing into a human ice cream sundae. She is the founder and choreographer of the Glitter Bombs (Boston’s Premier Strip Hop Troupe) and is a co-producer at Sparkletown Productions, where she masterminds sell-out, off-beat burlesque shows. Ms. Brulée has performed in the holiday burlesque spectacular, The Slutcracker, for nine years, and has appeared in many burlesques shows from coast to coast. Femme Brulée has had the honor of winning "Most Beautiful" at the Great Burlesque Exposition of 2013, and performing at Fierce! and the Show-Me Burlesque Festival. This August, she is thrilled to be co-producing Alterna-TEASE: The New England Neo-Burlesque Festival for the fifth year in Boston.
