Burlesque mavens Sasha Van Bon Bon and Kitty Neptune use their inimitable style to skewer that most contrary of movements from the early 20th Century. Dancers in suitcases and story-telling plushies are just some of the “anti-art” craziness paying homage to the grandchildren of the radical anti-establishment movement.
