Into the Shadow: A Femme Fatale Lab is an intimate film noir burlesque Chicago, designed as a limited-capacity cinematic salon for performers exploring character, mood, and noir archetypes.
Blending burlesque, cabaret, and experimental theatre, this boutique showcase invites audiences into a shadowed, story-driven world where presence matters more than spectacle.
Limited to 25 seats per night. Advance tickets strongly recommended.
January 16 features new work developed in real time this winter; March 27 offers a second glimpse into the evolving lab.
Curious to step into the work? Explore film noir–inspired burlesque classes in Chicago. Performers interested in developing work for future labs or Signature Series are encouraged to attend.
Expect:
- Bold character experiments
- Short solo & ensemble scenes
- Noir mood & mystery
- Creative spark over polish
Two nights only: January 16 & March 27, doors at 8 PM.
With only 25 seats per show, this is up-close and personal — not a blockbuster, but a backstage pass into the shadows where noir is born.
Whether you’re curious about the femme fatale mystique or a lover of cinematic storytelling, this immersive showcase invites you to witness process as performance.
