Visions from unknown divinities, the fates shaping the destinies of humans, whispers of eternal life coming from death, the power of harnessing lighting, hope and inspiration on a cosmic scale.

The Candybox Revue presents LORE: A Burlesque Tribute to Myths & Legends – a theatrical burlesque storytelling of some of the stories that have shaped cultures, illustrated our origins, inspired or discouraged us, and give a glimpse of the richness of our imagination.

These stories are a part of every culture, and, at their most basic level, they have shaped our fundamental understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

A pre-screening experience with Loren as an entry point into her creative process will begin at 6:15 PM, and a reception and a screening with will follow at 7 PM. Loren McFalls’s film “|community|” will stream nightly from March 31 to May 25.

About her film, Loren says “I wanted to bring together a group of humans who didn’t necessarily know each other. Bringing together our unique experiences, we created a micro-community in the making of this piece. It’s a lot of contact-improvisation combined with choreography that we’ve learned together. I want to evoke a sense of community building as we, as a group, work together and explore movement.”

Every year in Seville, Spain, La Feria de Abril kicks off the spring season two weeks of entertainment, arts, music, food, and wine after an extravagant celebration of Easter in the same city. For several days, Seville residents and people visiting the city gather under glowing lights and in the twirls of flamenco skirts to mark the beginning of the season. People of all ages dance to live music performances of some of the songs most synonymous with Andalucía, including sevillianas, bulerías, and tangos flamencos. A Través  is excited to partner again with Madrid Spanish Taverna to host the third-annual La Feria ATLANTA on April 22, 2023, starting at 3:00 p.m. and going on throughout the evening.

There will be dancing, singing, and cooking and plenty of VINO! during La Feria Roswell, with a grand event to celebrate this rite of spring in Spain and the two-year anniversary of Madrid Spanish Taverna in

Roswell, GA.

In 2023, we are modeling this giant gathering with festivities in the parking lot of Madrid Spanish Taverna. In this one-of-a-kind event in Georgia, flamenco lovers enjoy live performances, dance and singing classes, and demonstrations of how to prepare Spanish dishes and drinks, while top-rated Madrid Spanish Taverna provides the food and beverages to create the ambiance that makes this a unique expression of culture. In addition, the event offers an experiential educational opportunity, as flamenco is presented in the context of a typical Spanish celebration.

Nose to the Rhinestone began as a social media accountability network that was created by Bazuka Joe. According to Bazuka Joe, #NoseToTheRhinestone* was “created in an effort to get folks motivated, and it served its purpose well at the time.” Now, you can search the hashtag on most social media channels and see the incredible work and dedication that many burlesque performers have chronicled with this hashtag. We have created this burlesque brunch show as a part of our Weekend With series to inspire Atlanta burlesque performers to put their noses to the rhinestone and create something that can then be peer reviewed by some of the best in our industry!

The show features performers who are provided act feedback by Po’Chop, instructors of The Atlanta School of Burlesque, and some of our performers from our Saturday night show, Disclosure: A Burlesque Experience.

Tickets include brunch and bottomless mimosas.

 Brunch Menu – TBA

Doors & Brunch 11:00 AM, Show 11:30 AM
