Technoburlesque is a silent comedy of the body that parodies the rigidity of social roles. It appropriates, copies and embellishes femininity, masculinity, family relationships, machismo and other depraved social roles that are wrongly considered normative. Through various maneuvers of appropriation of the folk, sacred, political and social imaginary, strung together in cabaret dramaturgy, it produces bone-breaking orgasms of the release of repressed norms. And after ... The explosion of emotions, thoughts and carnal sensations produces a proliferation of free-thinking entities whose world - after visiting technoburlesque - is never the same. When the Snatchers strip themselves completely, and shed layer after layer of social disguises, they do not get to the point, but find that the point is nothingness, and the staged travesties of the body are the opium that makes living bearable. Satisfied in the eclectic noise of the media image, they stretch popular images and bite them down to outrageous forms that evoke cringe or despair.

Noble rays of the sun burn our thick bodies and rehabilitate our wallets, which have been dried up since the economic crisis. The members of The Feminalz collective do not indulge in sweet sunny passions. From the sea of good old platitudes, we draw nets into which we catch the ever-fresh fiascos of our frivolous authoritarians. This is grist to our mill, quietly grinding the banks of petty-bourgeois good taste. We are diligently preparing a cold cut of the social imaginary for your honeyed eyes, which we offer you to taste on August 23 in the underground of the Slovenian Youth Theatre. This is not a mirage conditioned by a sunstroke, this is the  Technoburlesque Image Snatchers. Open the new theater season and come see our summer catch.
