"Grotesque as a genre is an artistic technique that blends the bizarre and fabulous with reality, beauty with nightmarish elements, and wisdom with madness."
This extravagant act reinterprets the familiar boundaries of classical burlesque and, as a true work of grotesque art, captivates through its theatrical excess, dissonance, and precisely constructed contrast between Katrin’s shimmering costume and the powerful, expressive music of Marilyn Manson.
From its very beginning, burlesque has been an art of contrasts, yet much of what was created decades ago is perceived differently today. Katrin does not aim to replicate the past — her approach is rooted in creating original, authorial acts with a distinctive artistic language.
Her style has been shaped not only by classical burlesque, actresses of the 20th century, and ballet, but also by literature and art with a darker, more decadent aesthetic. This has shaped a distinctive artistic direction where beauty, provocation, and carefully controlled contrast coexist.
“Grotesque” is a choice for those who want to add intensity and character to their program, while preserving the elegance and luxury of burlesque.
