“…in the polymorphous world of the burlesque, where everybody gives and receives blows at will… violence is universal and without consequences, there is no guilt.”
Pascal Bonitzer, Le Champ aveugle (1982)

Burlesque alludes to the performative nature of the racism and violence witnessed in the infamous Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse and torture photographs of 2004.
