On September 27 and 28, the Teatro Anfitrione in Rome will host a unique double event: Grace’s Tricks Revue, the show created by Grace Hall together with her extraordinary Starlettes from Il Tempio del Burlesque, celebrating the school’s 15th anniversary since its foundation in 2010, a true landmark in Italy.
To mark this important milestone, the audience will enjoy two distinct performances, featuring more than 30 students who will bring to the stage all the magic, variety, and transformative power of burlesque.
Adding even more sparkle to the cast will be Charleston maniac Criss Bluebell (Cristina Pensiero), a refined and witty performer whose retro elegance and explosive energy captivate audiences.
The show is a journey through time, archetypes, and female empowerment, where cultures and styles intertwine to create striking visual and narrative tableaux, offering the audience a celebration of femininity in all its forms.
In recent years, burlesque has established itself not only as a form of entertainment but also as a powerful tool for self-discovery, enabling those who practice it to gain awareness and self-esteem, along with emotional, psychological, and creative benefits—even when approached as a discipline.
A journey through the feminine universe, crossing cultures, styles, and archetypes, with feathers, glitter, and spectacular costumes. On stage, the art of burlesque becomes both a celebration of the body and a path to personal transformation.
A pioneer of burlesque in Italy and founder in 2010 of Il Tempio del Burlesque, the first Italian school dedicated to this art, Grace Hall is also known as actress Emma Nitti. With a career spanning cinema, television, theater, fashion, and music, she has brought burlesque to both national and international stages. She is also the author and director of the documentary Burlesque Extravaganza (Prime Video), which tells the story and evolution of this unique performing art.
