SUMMARY:Bubble Burlesque: Denim Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Bubble Burlesque: Denim Diaspora\n\n\nStep into a world where rebellion meets rhinestones\, and fabric tells a story far deeper than fashion. Denim & Desire is a burlesque experience that peels back the seams of history\, celebrating denim not just as an icon of style\, but as a symbol woven through Black resilience\, labor\, culture\, and expression.\n\n\nFrom its roots as durable workwear worn by enslaved and working class Black laborers\, to its \n\n\ntransformation into a global statement of cool shaped by Black musicians\, dancers\, and tastemakers\, denim has always carried more than meets the eye. August 16th\, we honor that legacy\, thread by thread\, strip by strip.\n\n\n\n\n\nExpect a dazzling lineup of performers who will reimagine denim in all its forms\, raw\, rugged\, glamorous\, and subversive. Through tease\, storytelling\, and unapologetic sensuality\, each act pays tribute to the Black bodies and voices that turned denim into a canvas of identity and power.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis is more than a show. It is a reclamation. A celebration. A strut through history in your best blues.\n\n\n\n\n\nSo grab your seats\, hold onto your hems\, and get ready to witness denim like you have never seen it before.\n\n\n \n\n\nDenim is in our genes. From our enslaved ancestors dressed in negro cloth\, to the denim clad cowboys on dude ranches\, to denim being reclaimed  and made into a statement of rebellion in the civil rights movement\, to the repositioning of denim in the world of fashion due in part to black taste makers. On August 16th  at The Rockwell\, join Bubble Burlesque and an Iconic all black cast to find out how we continue to set your tongue. \n\n\n\nTimeline: \nDOORS: 6:30 PM \nSHOW: 7:00PM \nAge Limit: This event is 18+ \nID: Valid ID required for Entry \nStart Time: Performances will begin no later than 15 minutes after stated show time. \nRefund Policy: All sales are final.
