The DisabiliTease Festival (DTF) is a professional festival featuring disabled burlesque, cirque, cabaret, and drag performers. The festival strives to create a safe and accommodating space for performers to express themselves and receive the validation and recognition they deserve.
Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the DisabiliTease Festival highlights performers not only from the Twin Cities but across the United States and around the globe. Our goal is to include a wide variety of performers at the intersection of disability with a variety of genders, ages, sizes, abilities, races and ethnicities, locations, beliefs, and sexual orientations, whenever possible. This annual event works to challenge and overturn the notion that having a disability decreases or interferes with a person’s desirability, allure, or competence as a performer.
