Femme Brutal

Film program, AT 2015, 70 min., dt. OV + engl. UT

By: Liesa Kovacs & Nick Prokesch

When a naked female confidently steps on a stage, this still is a highly political act. With their queer-feminist performances the artists of Club Burlesque Brutal claim female desire to be normalcy. The documentary FEMME BRUTAL translates the show’s questions into the cinema. With disarming honesty, self-irony and openness the protagonists offer insights into their motivations and identities and tell stories of their own lives’s performances.
