About the festival
After more than 6 years of producing burlesque events across Poland, in 2024 it was time to move beyond the well-established format of the traditional Madame de Minou Burlesque Revue and create an event on a larger scale, built around a competition formula. Now in its third edition, Baltic Burlesque Gala offers audiences the opportunity to discover entirely new burlesque performers, often previously unseen on the Polish stage, representing a wide range of experience levels. For Artists, it is a chance to present themselves to a novelty-hungry Polish audience and to compete for the main prize.
With an audience of over 1,000 guests, a vibrant atmosphere, a large stage equipped with professional sound and lighting, and a producer who has been filling theatre halls across the country with glitter for years – this is only the beginning. The burlesque scene in Poland is developing rapidly and calls for new stars to captivate an ever-growing and increasingly discerning audience. Join the festival and let us discover you!
