MATADOR – Absolutely magnificent cast of seven female dancers and seven male dancers, plus two swings. Excellent and well chosen soundtrack of original music with lyrics often in the Spanish Language, and occasionally well known songs in the English Language. Constant changes of beautiful costumes benefit each of the erotic love stories being told, together with constant high energy dance performances including high energy aerialist performers. Dance, Flamenco, Circus, Aerialists, Burlesque, Ballet plus pole artists.
Pairs of aerialists high above the stage, using one heart shaped ring, and later a large four-sided cage. Flexible aerialists showing their applause worthy best, on straps, on silks and on nets, etc. Contemporary En Pointe dance routines, as three of the female dancers can be seen as ballerinas wearing their pointe shoes. Latin Dance fully expressing the bullfighting battle between lovers. Dance couples are always spectacular (FM/FF/MM) and always beautiful choreography.
Female dancers are seen wearing full length catsuit costumes, (full length body stocking costumes), containing very ornate and extremely beautiful heavily-sequinned bras and panties. Burlesque of a different kind, with layer after layer of clothing being artfully removed, and timed to the music. At the end of the burlesque striptease, the woman is still wearing her ornate beautiful heavily-sequinned catsuit costume, that is still covering from her neck to her toes. Highly Recommended.
