For the past two decades burlesque has been on the rise and the growing popularity of the genre also resonates in pop culture. Burlesque has undergone many changes over the past century since its initial boom as a form of male entertainment, especially in terms of internalising the female position, which transformed the act of uncovering one’s body into an emancipatory gesture. However, if we were to define the technoburlesque Image Snatchers as a feminist expression, it would be too soft and politically correct. If we were to say it’s an engaged performance, it would be too bland. If we were to call it bold, it would be too dandy. The technoburlesque Image Snatchers is a step up from burlesque with its taunting impersonations and an entire century on from the seductive singing and dancing. Its authors say that technoburlesque is a mute comedy of a body that mocks the rigidity of social roles.
