Red Bennies' 'Bootlegged'

This short description is taken from the Red Bennies events page of 'Bootlegged'!

"Take a trip down the boardwalk to the wild side. This is a Bootlegged world of desire, glamour and danger...

Guys, Dolls, Gangsters and Molls will take you on a journey of illicit enjoyment - so pipe down, pucker up and get out your glad rags. Hitting the stage for your pleasure is a collection of colourful characters sure to get the juice joint jumping. Hoofers, Flappers, Songbirds, Showgirls and so much more. You don't wanna miss this..."





























I loved this show so much! And I would see it again every night if I could! Both shows (yes, I have been twice) were different and amazing in their own ways! I just loved everyone in it and how well everything was presented and performed. It was just amazing!

Les Femmes and the Male Minority

Some of my favourite images that I took at Red Bennies a month ago from 'Les Femmes and the Male Minority'


A fantasy tale set in a world where women are the empowered ones. Travelling through eras of time, fusing together circus, burlesque and dance, Les Femmes is a seductive and tantalising adventure.

Set in an era similar to the Renaissance, the first act reverses the classical role of men and women in royalty. Closely inspired by the 1967 film, 'Prehistoric Women', the second act is a very literal exploration of an Amazonian culture of women, in which the male minority are used solely for labour, and as sex slaves.

The final act takes a more modern turn of the concept, inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut'. The males of this act are more willingly entered into a world of BDSM-inspired submission to the females, while the society of women is portrayed more as a cult, a darker turn on the sex party style of the second act.

Les Femmes is brought to you by Danny Golding Entertainment, featuring his Circotic troupe as seen on 'Australia's Got Talent' (2012 semi-finalists), and the top 12 of 2009's 'So You Think You Can Dance'.
