Racy Ros
Racy Ros arrived from Spain years ago and settled between foggy days and the “ciupette” (local bread) of Ferrara. In 2017, she founded the Teaserama Ferrara Burlesque School to spread the art of burlesque and its wonders. Her personal and artistic path led her to launch events such as Burlesque Fight Night (the first monthly contest in northern Italy born in 2019) and Classy Club, currently the only burlesque show in the city and province of Ferrara. Lover of aesthetics and vintage savoir faire, she creates and develops her performances by combining her love for Hispanic music with the glamor of the divas of the 40s and 50s, bringing her rich and exuberant style to the stage.In 2024, she became the official MC of the Summer Jamboree (Senigallia), one of the most famous 1950s culture and music festivals in the world. In May this year, she is organizing the Teaserama Summer Camp, a weekend of training, sharing and fun open to burlesque lovers and more (the program is already available!)
Azzurro Fumo
Sweet, cute, calm, dreamy… all adjectives that have NOTHING to do with this guy!
An airheaded and chaotic character with multiple personas. A 1950s sailor, a timeless glamorous dandy or a clumsy scientist: whatever character he plays, he mixes irony, sensuality and playfulness, creating an original mix that winks at the cabaret of the first decades of the 20th century. His performances are a potpourri of cheeky comedy, mischief and elegance surrounded by a magnetic gaze that attracts the public’s attention. In 2021, he was chosen as the Italian male representative, for the annual international “Burlesque Hall Fame” . Co-producer of Piccolo Teatro Burlesque together with Freaky Candy.
Effervescent and sparkling, Azzurro Fumo is pure dynamite!
