Roses Are Dead: Emo Burlesque

Black eyeliner. Fishnets. Rhinestones. Feelings.

Welcome to the stage where “I’m not okay (I promise)” isn’t a breakdown — it’s a tease.

Roses Are Dead is a late-night love letter to the anthems that raised us, the heartbreak that shaped us, and the drama that never really left. This is where “Sugar, we’re goin down” becomes a slow glove peel, and “I write sins not tragedies” is performed in corset and chaos.

Expect the kind of smolder that makes you believe “because tonight will be the night” all over again.

We’re turning angst into allure.
Eyeliner into after-hours elegance.
And your teenage playlist into a full-body experience.

It’s theatrical. It’s nostalgic. It’s a little unhinged.
And it’s absolutely not a phase.

Come scream-sing, swoon and watch your favorite emo era strip down to its lacy, glittering core, with performances from Piper Daily, Belle Be Damned, Yaya, Valencia Nix, Coffin Shorty, Devilish Damia, Billie Basilisk, Venus Vitriol, and Synth. The emo drag and burlesque is hosted and produced by owner of Haus Divine Productions and Houston Divine Studio, Lady AnnaBelle.

Black parade optional. Emotional damage encouraged.
