Burlesque in Barokia

Burlesque was introduced to Barokia by British colonial settlers around 1902. Despite religious restrictions and conflicting views on the show of female bodies after the establishment of the current Islamic government in Barokia, burlesque's popularity did not cease, and it still remains a popular artform in the country.

Notable burlesque venues include the Cabaret Al-Fusid in Fusid City and the Dumpster in A'dbel.

Burlesque venues in Barokia also showcase butoh dance and vaudeville.
