Rebel Rebel: A David Bowie Burlesque Tribute by New Wave Cabaret
New Wave Cabaret, a local burlesque and cabaret group in Orlando, is gearing up for a David Bowie burlesque tribute on Nov. 7. The group, led by visionary producer and performer Leggy Strangelove, aims to support the LGBTQ+ community through their art and performances. Strangelove, who is also a psychotherapist and trauma specialist, uses their platform to empower and inspire the queer community.
The upcoming show will pay homage to David Bowie's iconic music, flamboyant style, and boundary-pushing artistry. The night promises dynamic burlesque and drag performances that celebrate diversity and representation. Strangelove emphasizes the importance of creating spaces where queer artists, especially trans artists, can showcase their talents and be compensated for their work.
New Wave Cabaret's mission is to provide a stage for LGBTQ+ artists and contribute to the community by donating proceeds from their shows to organizations supporting queer causes. The group's dedication to honoring Bowie's legacy and promoting inclusivity shines through their performances, which are described as a love letter to Bowie, burlesque, and the magic of queerness.
In addition to the David Bowie tribute, New Wave Cabaret has exciting holiday and Valentine's Day shows lined up for the future. Their upcoming performances promise to be edgy, diverse, and boundary-pushing, capturing the spirit of 80s new wave music. Audiences can expect a unique and creative experience that celebrates the artistry and authenticity of the LGBTQ+ community.
