Narrated by Margaret Cho, “Exotic World and the Burlesque Revival” tells the story of a goat farm in the middle of the Mojave Desert that becomes ground zero of the largest burlesque revival since the 1940s. Retired exotic dancer Dixie Evans, “The Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque,” transforms a goat shed into “Exotic World”, the world’s first and only museum devoted to striptease. In response, young burlesque revivalists across the country begin making pilgrimages to the museum. The film captures the moment in time when the revivalists and elderly legends meet in the blazing hot desert and create a vibrant artistic culture that fuels the resurgence of neo-burlesque.
