Forces of Nature - Sinner Saint Burlesque

Book Forces of Nature at your event, hometown theatre, conference, festival or celebration!

Humans have always been been in awe of the raw, unyielding forces of nature. We surrender to their power, despite resistance. Leaders seek to understand the impact of climate change while scientists whisper the harsh reality that the human species may be responsible for its own mass extinction. How can we not begin to question our earthly cosmology? Inspired by centuries-old connection to the earth, and artistic works celebrating this connection (including Becoming Animal, Women Who Run With The Wolves, and Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons),

Fall in love with the elemental forces that create this world, and remember how to worship and celebrate mother nature. Watch volcanoes erupt, the rainforest wake up, and the seasons come alive. Be seduced by gravity’s pull, ravaged by storms, and mystified the aurora boreallis. (photos below by Greg Holloway, and Samuel S. Grahn Photography)

“What a MAGNIFICENT production!!! Everything from the thoughtful performances, to the masterful production elements and beautiful costumes blew me out of the water and shook me to my core (see what I did there?!) You certainly did Mother Nature proud!”

“Just got home from a SUPER sexy & smart burlesque show by Sinner Saint Burlesque; Forces of Nature. The burlesque performances were woven around/represented different elements from nature (water, snow, volcanoes, tectonic plates, rain, heat/sun) performed to classical, vampy, ’40s and other musical selections. The performers were beautiful! Really, really superb! Go see them next time Sinner Saint performs, you’ll be in for a treat. (p.s. they performed Lady Marmalade last year at Venice Is Sinking: A Venetian Masked Carnival Ball!)”

“If you love burlesque, I highly recommend going to see Forces of Nature, by Sinner Saint Burlesque. I went to their Friday night performance, and am still amazed and grinning from the acts I saw. Not only did they capture a wide range of astonishing tributes to the natural world, but they did so with humor, zest, and breath-taking grace.”

“WOW, y’all. Just WOW. Forces of Nature. Forces of Nature. No spoilers, but I would have totally paid $60 to see that. That was one of the most magnificently put together pieces of theatre I have seen in ages. Sinner Saint Burlesque, thank you for such a uniquely provoking experience.”

“Forces of Nature: I’ve been given specific instructions by my friends to shut up and don’t reveal any spoilers. It’s REALLY HARD to gush about this show without slipping out spoilers! So I will tell you this instead: at intermission Tamara and I were discussing the evolution of Sinner Saint Burlesque with their 10 year anniversary coming up. All I have to say is that these are the kind of goddamn witches I want to be when I grown up!”

“Amazing show tonight ladies! Inspiring, courageous and of course…Oh so sexy!!!

“Holy shit Seattle go see Forces of Nature burlesque at TOJ. I’m blown away by the talent, creativity, sexy and raw pagan power of Sinner Saint Burlesque. YESSSSSSS”

“Awesome show!!!!”
“That show was FANTASTIC! At every turn I was at the edge of my seat. Congratulations starts!! That was a beautiful and thoughtful production.”
“Wow. WOW. Fantastic show.”
“Congratulations on a triumphant opening night!!!”
