MovieDocumentary

The burlesque scene tickles the fancy of the "vanilla" mainstream while also appealing to feminists who see it as a safe haven for their sexuality. All kinds of body types are welcome. The scene challenges our views on sexual stereotypes, norms and sexuality. At Stockholm's Burlesque Festival, we meet Nick the Dick, who is participating in The Tassle and Twirl Championship for the first time; Aurora, a feminist; and Thorbjörn, who likes dressing up to challenge male stereotypes. —Johanna St Michaels
