Twelve of today's hottest performers reveal the naked truth about an exotic world where artifice is a route to authenticity and pretending to be someone else is the ultimate journey to become yourself. These burlesquers put it all on the line in performances that are sexy, funny, elegant and outrageous - and they bare more than just their bodies as they discuss their artistic vision, their financial struggles, the misconceptions that infuriate them and the community that sustains them.

Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times There's real talent here, whether in more traditional dance, breathing fire or creatively raunchy puppetry. Director Jon Manning explores the performance art beyond its titillating reputation. Mar 2, 2017 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine Running at a scant 76 minutes, it's only worth the investment if you have no exposure to the world of burlesque whatsoever, and this isn't even a great introduction at that. Rated: 2/5 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com For just under 80 minutes, Burlesque: Heart of the Glitter Tribe takes us deeper into a subculture with a sense of joy that is infectious, and it's impossible to look away when the lights drop, the music starts, and the sexy show begins. Rated: 3/5 Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail As a declarative statement of the power of self-expression, Burlesque: Heart of the Glitter Tribe is a resounding success. Feb 3, 2018 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International This viewer has never really gotten modern-day burlesque, and I'm afraid this doc does little to change my mind. Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews a light and lively documentary that turns into a surprising pleasure. Rated: 7/10 Mar 1, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
