Barely back from vacation and already dreading the last days of summer and the fateful arrival of dark, rainy autumn? But don’t panic! We’ve got the remedy and, paradoxically, it’s one that’ll make you love the dark side. At least the one that takes you to a galaxy far, far away.
Empire Strips Back, the most ambitious SF parody show ever!
It took audacity to literally lay bare the characters of the cult saga. Stormtroopers, Twi’leks, Princess Leia, Han Solo, the notorious Boba Fett… everyone gets their turn in this adults-only show that’s as sexy as it is wacky. Tackling a monument of popular culture is all well and good, but the production and staging have to follow suit. And in this respect, the result is simply stunning.
Thanks to a well-oiled machine, the actors string together a 2-hour show of choreography and parades with absolutely impeccable stagecraft. The lighting, music, costumes and sets are also skilfully orchestrated to give the show all the spice and suggestiveness you’d expect from a show of this nature. Whether you’re a fan of the saga, a dance fan or simply curious, you won’t believe your eyes.
A galactic show acclaimed the world over
From Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and Montreal to Melbourne, Sydney and London, Empire Strips Back has already performed in over 40 cities! With a rating of 4.9/5, spectators keep coming back for more, and last year Paris spearheaded this global success. So it was only natural that the capital should be chosen as the stage for the second installment of Empire Strips Back.
Ultimately, Empire Strips Back is a rare form of entertainment, one that we’d like to see more of. After all, whether you’re in Paris, on the other side of the world or in a galaxy far, far away, isn’t that what the show is all about?
