Born in Martinique, a French colony in the Caribbean’s islands, Martini Cherry Furter spent 14 years on stages all around the world, half of this time as a burlesque performer. Trained in Martinique with Latino-american theater, in Cuba and in Paris for the conservatory, as an actor, singer and dancer, the capacity of adaptation and the versatility of MCF push the limit of interdisciplinarity to an unframed point where living is an Art. After 3 years of experience directing the first burlesque club of France, MCF is now based in Berlin, passing from the Berlin undergrounds club’s party, dragqueens show to the Volksbühne or Deutsche Oper with a remarkable ease.
Over the years MCF developed a distinctive relationship with the audience by bringing topics as transgender, queerness, racism, colonialism, sexism, ableism, while keeping entertained and still being charged with a magnetic presence.
