The PAPESSE – Winners Gallery

The “Papesse” – Winners gallery of the editions

The “Papesse” of every year of the Caput Mundi Award. Winners gallery and more. It will also be possible to see video testimonials of the performers during the days they spend in the eternal city for the Caput Mundi Rome Burlesque Festival, have the biography and the agenda of the events of the best artists in circulation at your complete disposal.

Veils that fall down, dresses that fly, breasts in the open with pasties that swirl. Only a few steps further there is the San Pietro with its Colonnade. While the Pope is asleep, the future “papessa” begins its race towards the shining tiara of the Caput Mundi International Burlesque Award. 72 hours of pure burlesque to the use and consumption of an audience admiring and loyal to the creed of teasing. Three days of pure delight for the eyes and mind. At San Pietro the hands rise in prayer, at Caput Mundi they rise in applause. Everything in the same city but in two parallel worlds.
