Scandaleuse

An evening of song and dance revealing the story of Paris' favourite art form! Né à Paris, le cabaret y a trouvé son âme. Through its emblematic figures, we invite you to discover its history.

From the 19th century, with the opening of the first café-concert, to today's glitter, feathers, and drag shows, let us guide you through the historical and fantastic fresco of cabaret.

Many themes and struggles run through this play, but that of women - their bodies, their representation, their freedom - is particularly central. The evolution of cabaret has allowed women to reclaim their image, their power, and their rightful place on stage.

Narrated in English by the Mistress of Ceremonies, this evening of music, dance, and French song will introduce us to Aristide Bruant, the symbol of the Chat Noir, La Goulue, emblematic dancer of the Moulin Rouge, and Mistinguett, the French star of the Roaring Twenties, all accompanied by our dear pianist who gradually reveals himself!

A play conceived and directed by Esther Hammecker with Margot Melchior, Harold Dely, Maud Lagorsse and Hugo Mainil-Durelle from the Compagnie Lady In Velour.
