Produktbeschreibung

To dance when no one is watching is one thing, to dance when everyone is, quite another... Performance is an electrifying memoir from the dark heart of London's Soho. Burlesque performer Ruby unfolds from a Fabergé egg each night at clubs across London, until she is asked to direct the show at 'The Club'. A place of infamy and illicit pleasures where the filthy rich and famous come to play, and nothing is off-limits. There, Ruby's nights unravel in a crescendo of violent delights, in thrall to unhinged bosses and a rabid audience. Her soul is wrung out by decadence as the line between entertainment and destruction blurs - yet still, the dance must go on. In the teeming underbelly of London's Soho, Ruby must learn that in games of pleasure, money always wins. Performance is a visceral and exquisitely written portrait of a place that has come to embody the excesses of late capitalism; of tumbling willingly down the rabbit hole only to lose yourself in the dark.
