Tigger!

James 'Tigger!' Ferguson is widely regarded as the king of modern boylesque, a New York City performer who helped spark the burlesque revival of the 1990s and, in 2006, took home the first-ever boylesque title at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. Iban del Campo's ten-minute documentary portrait catches the self-described Stripperformance Artist on and off the stage, exploring the mix of theater, dance, comedy and provocation that defines his act and the outsider spirit behind it. Part performance film and part character study, it is a lively introduction to a downtown legend and to an art form that treats the body as both punchline and manifesto.
