- Hi
-How are you?

Fine and you?

Fine

He’s here, right.

There’s someone again.

Who’s that guy there on all fours?

Volga!

That’s a Volga!

That’s Crazy.

Can you start the ‘Shadows’ film?

The film of ‘Shadows’

What do you call that film?

You called it ‘Bernardin’.

It works

Please open the curtain completely!

I love the clapperboard

House lights off, please

It’s so hot

Right

Bend, bend

Throw it forward

Yes... Bend, bend...

How much time do we have? Two hours?

Koko, Lumina, Zula.

OK.

Once again

So hot

Stretch, bend

So hot

Thanks, girls. To the dressing room.

Take a shower. Even two.

It should not touch
the strip of mirrors next to

We need to work on the lighting.

Could you please just come down?

Should A, B, C and D be at the center?

Yes.

Is the backdrop centered?

Maybe it’s not well-centered

It is centered.

It is? Are you sure?

That’s what we agreed on

That you finish this way

Then you go up

Turn around

That’s right

I take your skirt off.

You slide down.

Slide in this position

I should first turn like this

I don’t feeel sensual with that.

But frankly

And then...

Maybe I can help you like that...

You catch it, then you sway again...

And again.

There... So after it’s the same.

My body against yours.

Yes but there I used to do something and
you did

I used to do something like this

Yeah?

Wait. Like this.

Like this.

Then we cuddle with each other

Like this.

And then backward, with the music

There, backward with the step.

We come back from further away.

And there, once again and we leave.

Go ahead, put your hand

There...OK.

Did you get it?

Want to try?

Lada took a break.

Good, Zula. Closing your eyes is great

Good idea.

You let yourself go, you close your eyes.

And you change position

...three, four

Sensuality awakens

And one...three...

, yt’s hot, you open the helmet.

Three...two, three, four...Four

You stand up slowly.

You’re hot.

It’s the heat that makes you stand up

Yes...

Now, Lumina enters

You go to the window

Go to the window, Lumina.

You look at each other.

It changes again.

You leave the window

And you’re on the other side

Now, first contact.

Good! Second contact...

Contact

Stay in front of the window.

Lumina, not forward. Zula, not backward.

Back in front of the window

Get out of the moving walkway.

And kiss.

On your knees.

Well arched

Buttocks

Then it starts

Here you go.

Get closer.

Yes...

Move away

Get closer again

Now you can do that thing...

that thing you do in the end.

And... boom!

That hook should be changed

It scares me

Good

And please turn the work lights off on the set

Girls, change places

You, the three new girls

Together, together

Try to feel each other.

Yasna, good on the right, bad on the left.

Bend your right hand, Yasna.

Bend your right hand

Not too much. Higher

Perfect

Thank you.

The main question is the lighting

We cancelled ‘Vestal’ in order to make

more side lighting available.

Part of the light plot was dedicated to ‘Vestal’

Without ‘Vestal’, we can do better

and play with the colours of the side lighting.

This iob requires
and I somehow speak in your

We should first clean all these spotlights

that all have a thick layer of dust inside

And then we should check on
the whole show and on

with the costumes, to see the result

to see what needs to be adjusted

We may need more side lighting to
outline the bod

It’s the basic lighting in ballet.

It picks the bodies out and
makes them more legib

We must use it more and better.

This reviewing of the show brings
back my eternal

please, let’s try to close for some time

Without closing

Philippe, l’m sorry, the answer is no

What?

I can’t, we can’t.

Think about it, let’s talk to the boss.

I know that he’ll say no

If you want to make a big step forward,

and reach a higher quality in the show...

We claim to have the best nude
dancing show in th

and that we’re renewing this type of show

so give me the means to achieve it.

If we want a dazzling premiere

that will impress the intellectuals and all,
let

Some things can’t be achieved if we never close

I can only pass on the shareholders’ position

which has been the same for a year.

I can’t believe
there are no legal solutions to i

I understand that paying 60 people
for doing noth

Wven if some of them may clean the spotlights.

There must be a solution

There are firms that close and...

Take a vacation.

And don’t go bankrupt. It can be done.

I insist that we find a solution.

I’m convinced that a break
is needed to ensure a

I just know that the shareholders said no

At a certain point, they must understand

- We also have constraints.
- I agree.

They ask us to deliver a quality show.

And it involves quite a few things
including clo

If not, the quality won’t be there

I’d be disappointed

- The show works.
- Right

It’s important. I’m not blackmailing you,

I’m just saying it’s important

Just look at how ‘Evolution’ works

This act has been worked on year after year!

Giving me only one or two weeks
to deliver is inh

I need similar conditions to reach the same leve

as ‘Evolution’,
which has been worked on for year

Even if I put all my talent and energy into it

I may sometimes be wrong,

I need to adjust and improve

I agree on this. But

Therefore I can’t deliver

I can’t go on blindly to deliver 3 new acts

The finale is very important
we do need a new on

Just give me a rough idea of your schedule.

For the finale, end of July

I already asked three times for extra time,

and they’re on my back

I keep my head down...

We have to face what creation is about

I agree with you, but...

Once again, with a new finale

and a solution to
some problems of overlapping se

we basically have a new show, don’t you agree?

We have a show with
four or five old acts instead

but the overall mood is really different

After we changed
the interludes and the overall p

Right, Philippe, but the shareholders don’t care.

They said: Only three old acts

- I’ll explain to them
- OK

That’s all I can say

They tell me: This is not what was agreed

Because it’s creation and
you can’t control every

I know they think in terms of a business plan,

but still, it’s about art

Suppose they ordered a painting of a farm

and I think that the cows should be here

even if they wanted the cows to be there

A painting is art.

I know that the cows should be here!

You may have to justify yourself

though l agree with you.

You’ll work all summer?

We’ll do ‘Venus’.

What happened with ‘Venus’?

Didn’t I tell you?

Well the girls often
come out of this act in tear

They hate touching each other

They don’t like it

Because of the bizarre culture they have here

The girls are definitely not dirty

They really hate touching each other...

They are modest

Getting closer than this...

there seems to be an invisible wall

they bump into, and they won’t get closer

And what if it was a solo?

They do have a problem pretending to do things

Very few like to pretend.

So we should work on it

so that it becomes technically possible.

I like Zula’s idea, even if l must check on it

to put moon boots on the revolving cage

The first cosmonaut would have to go like this

It could be funny and interesting

but it means work and
another technical challenge

We’ll see.

Yes!

Shall we have the second group?

It,s half an inch short here

Here we go

On the third ‘cha’, off you go.

Over here.

Then you move on...

You move on...

You’re too...

You have to do everything sideways

Right, much nicer

It’s really good

Yeah, it’s

The shadows are dancing

Go.

And... one... and ...two...

And then... a lesson in shadows.

I place my body according to focus

Like in front of a camera lens

The focus is there.

You always have to... even if it’s weird,

you have to play like this, or like that,

in order to make the body visible

Sharper saut de chat

A saut de chat should make you move to the side,

that’s the idea.

Don’t stay there.

Right! You move to the side

It’s 6 o’clock, girls.

We should stop.

Thank you very much, girls

So France Billets, perfect.

A Diamond package

Francis?

Right

For two?

All right.

Your name, please?

First name, please. Michel

Perfect. May I have your mobile number?

A pro forma invoice?

Yes

Good evening.

On stage in twenty-five minutes.

A dancer for stage manager.

Any dancer?

Zula, did i give you the invitation?

Yes, thanks.

I love the show.

Some things need to be improved.

We don’t know about the wigs

But I found the music really pleasant and funny.

It stays in your head

But now, I don’t feel good with the ending

‘Whispers’?

It needs revision.

Even more than the finale

Like what?

It needs something

Right now, it falls flat.

Good evening.

Perfect, thank you.

I believe that’s us.

Yes, actually.

So, somewhere...

Somewhere here or over there...

Or maybe here?

Yeah, that will be good.

Take this gentleman to number 417.

Instead of number 212

Sir

You’re welcome, have a nice show, Sir

Good evening.

Smile, please.

‘Baby, can’t you see?’

‘I’m calling.’

‘A guy like you should wear a warning.’

‘it’s dangerous, I’m falling...’

‘There’s no escape, l can’t wait,’

‘l need a hit, baby, give me it,’

‘you’re dangerous, I’m loving it.’

‘Too high, can’t come down,’

‘losing my head, spinning round and round,’

‘do you feel me now?’

‘With the taste of your lips, I’m on a ride,’

‘you’re toxic, l’m slipping under,’

‘taste of your poison paradise,’

‘I’m addicted to you,’

‘don’t you know that you’re toxic?’

‘And I love what you do,’

‘don’t you know that you’re toxic?’

‘lt’s getting late to give you up,’

‘I took a sip from my devil’s cup,’

‘slowly it’s taking over me.’

‘Too high, can’t come down,’

‘it’s in the air and it’s all around,’

‘can you feel me now?’

‘With the taste of your lips, I’m on a ride,’

‘you’re toxic, l’m slipping under,’

‘taste of your poison paradise,’

‘I’m addicted to you,’

‘don’t you know that you’re toxic?’

‘Intoxicate me now, with your loving now,’

‘I think I’m ready now, I think I’m ready now.’

‘Intoxicate me now, with your loving now,’

‘I think I’m ready now, l think I’m ready now.’

‘Intoxicate me now, with your loving now,’

‘I think I’m ready now, l think I’m ready now.’

‘Intoxicate me now.’

‘lt’s getting late to give you up,’

‘I took a sip from my devil’s cup,’

‘slowly it’s takin’ over me.’

It must have hurt

He’s a big star in Russia

A Bolshoi soloist

He’s very popular. Everywhere.

He has some physical qualities.

This is unique!

You make me so

No

Just the way she got up...

The floor looks slippery.

These are dancing mats.

It looks tough.

It is tough.

You can see it

Great, no?

We hardly see each other

You see the darkness of
a long coat trailing behi

I catch the whiteness of a summer dress

I’m only a shadow

and you

you’re a light

‘Yearning for more than a blue day,’

‘I enter your new life for me,’

‘burning for the true day,’

‘I welcome your new life for me.’

‘Forgive me, let live me, set my spirit free.’

‘forgive me, let live me, set my spirit free.’

‘Losing, it comes in a cold wave,

‘of guilt and shame, all over me,’

‘a child has arrived in the darkness,’

‘the hollow triumph of a tree.’

‘Forgive me, let live me, kiss my falling knee,’

‘forgive me, let live me, bless my destiny.’

‘Forgive me, let live me, set my spirit free,’

‘weakness sown, now overgrown,’

‘Man is the baby.’

‘Forgive me, let live me, set my spirit free.’

‘Weakness sown, now overgrown,’

‘Man is the baby,’

‘Man is the baby.’

- Are you in ‘Scanner’?
- No.

We should try it, if you don’t mind.

There wiil be a reversal of scenes.

Maybe we won’t deliver ‘Infrared’

at the end of the week.

Did you know?

It was decided yesterday. Philippe iust told me

‘Scanner’ is far from being ready,

but we’ll try to be ready.

If this lady would kindly take this off...

Then we’ll try

a new costume for ‘Venus’

- For ‘Venus’
- Yeah

We’ll make it more like...

a Formula One champ...

rather than

I was also told yesterday

that we have to try the skirts on.

Absolutely

New skirts

Yes

For you.

Do you have to change it?

Because the one I have now is really great.

The material looks very nice with the lights.

It looks nice but something still bothers me.

The material is so shiny

that when you dance like this,

leaning on the table with the lighting behind

instead of making nice round buttocks,

you get bony buttocks.

The light draws a stroke
like this on your buttoc

And you end up with

something bony

Instead of something round, see?

But with this new skirt made of a matte material

you feel the curves

It doesn’t catch the light

and it’s more elegant, like for a woman CEO

There’s something more elegant about it

I really loved the other material too,

but with the lighting... it becomes

Too bright

It spoils your figure

I really had the impression...

while, I mean, the idea is to
have nice round but

It didn’t do it

We also thought

that this material would be too fragile

to be used long term, and so on

Meanwhile, wear it

You’ll see the new one

Daisy tried it on, and it’s lovely

Come here, Jérome,

I have a hard time undressing the lady.

Go undress in the fitting room

and then come to me

Would you have some shoes for me?

You want slippers?

Thanks

I’ll find some.

‘Baby buns’ is what they call me when l pass...’

‘Oh, hey!’

‘Oh, darling!’

‘She’s floating like a butterfly, so charming...’

‘Baby girl!’

‘She recognized the man in me.’

‘Number 1 in the world.’

‘There’s something in her eyes
like a spell gett

‘oh lord, she gave me
one smile, two smiles, thre

‘she got me going wild.’

‘Worth more than diamonds and pearl.’

‘So, baby, don’t change your style.’

‘Sweet honey!’

‘Oh no, no, no!’

‘Tease me, tease me, tease me, tease me, baby!’

‘Till I lose control.’

‘Tease me with your loving until l lose control.’

‘Take all my body and soul, oh girl.’

You’re early again.

You in the back, do something else.

‘Woman, tease me till I lose control,’

‘me ball tease me and tickle up me fancy,’

‘right round the clock until me reach climax,’

‘and when we reach, me will tell fi stop,’

‘Will ya aim fi de sky and
will not turn back, br

‘you make me heart tick like a clock...’

‘Woman, tease me,’

‘And take a look me weak spot’

‘Only your touch can make me, holds me up’

I like this... what Lumina is doing

You look like cheerleaders, but...

‘Woman, your love
is like fire burning inna me so

‘Woman, tease me till I lose control.’

‘Tease me, tease me, tease me, tease me, baby!’

Good, l’m happy

we understand each other, we’re improving

They want me to carry out a lot of improvements.

Without closing?

No way?

Today, it’s no way.

And no it is

I keep insisting...

I’m rather...

Stubborn

But since l deliver what I’m supposed to...

I don’t give up...

When I talked to the boss, he sounded happy.

He’s reassured.

I went to see him and said: Fire me.

I didn’t fulfil our agreement

I take full responsibility, but I’ll explain why

There are various problems. Let’s sort them out.

If I’m sometimes inefficient

it’s not only because of my being useless.

We go one step forward, two steps backward

We cancelled some acts
like ‘Venus’ and ‘Scanner

I can’t be brilliant every morning

and that’s that

Find someone who can and hire him.

Apart from that, are you happy?

I’m passionate about my job.

My job now is to do the Crazy Horse show,

and it keeps me quite busy

I see only what’s wrong and I work on it

The rest is normal to me.

When it’s good, it’s just normal.

Yet I’m still deeply worried

when I see a show like last night

We had great dancers and great technicians

compared with less fortunate shows

But there still was one mistake per act.

These constant errors frighten me.

The infrared broke down the other day.

All these little things
can make the show good or

First, the curtain for ‘Infrared’ was slanted

The image was blurred

They forgot one of the tulles
while screening Dai

It was screened on the curtain and
you saw absolu

We’re supposedly

the best chic nude show on earth.

Fine, we can do it

But if anything breaks, you have to wait,

the act has to stop and we all look ridiculous!

I’m worried because of the weaknesses of the team.

Someone talked about reorganizing

the structure of stage management.

It could be useful.

I’m trying to do it.

I’ll see Maurizio about it

He’s not convinced, I am

Which means?

For example, l would like Rico
to be the stage ma

Rico is very reliable.

Rico’s quite reliable.

If he’d be the stage manager

I would go to him for any problem and
he would ha

Today, a wrong curtain is nobody’s responsibility

It’s their stupid rule
all jobs are interchangea

It makes sense with the dancers

not with the technicians

I tried to explain it to Andrée
and to the boss

Imagine you’re the boss today,
a secretary or an

And the next day
you’ll take care of marketing

They are supposed to know how to do everything.

They must be able to take over for each other.

This system has to change

If not, it will remain shaky and fragile

They should know everything
but with more precise

Responsibilities

Some of the technicians can’t be stage managers.

There are things that they just can’t do

Let’s face it and put them in the right place.

Right

We’re all faced with our limits

For some things. I’m just useless,
I just don’t d

That’s why I won’t do ‘Que calor’!

Let me compliment you: you’re all just great

Speaking about ‘Que calor’...

you were in it yesterday.

I think that you don’t like the act but you do it

You’re funny and punchy.

That’s generous. Let’s keep it that way

Today is InternationaI Day for Biodiversity

Let’s talk about the invasion of exotic species.

This species digs burrows in the ground

The water will therefore be much muddier

We need a method

to coordinate the design shops.

We can’t shift from one plan to another

or give up one thing and go to the next

Another idea. one girl instead of two...

These constant changes
in the organization we had

led me to the complete madness I experienced

the other day

We do a sloppy job.

It’s not the tradition here.

Nothing is green-lighted
in the production meetin

so I don’t want to attend them

because I have a job to do...

Roselyne kept you posted though.

She did, that’s what we had agreed

The new schedule

My fault. I admit it

That’s not it, that’s not it.

It changes all the time

At each meeting, we change everything.

- There are reasons.
- I know the reasons!

I try to be the most

You must understand

that we simply can’t do a good job

with the same enthusiasm we had in the beginning

and for a result that would honour the Crazy

And everybody.

What we did was... shitty

You can’t do as you please with the girls

They do the splits

facing the audience...

Or not. or whatever...

You don’t take chances with a naked girl.

The costumes may not be important to you
they ar

But we don’t have the time

to validate anything with you nor with Andrée

At least you!

We had a creation meeting scheduled weekly.

It’s been three weeks without any.

No more creation meetings. The production meetings

give us a one-week perspective, never more.

What do we do? I can’t go on like this.

It’s making me crazy

My idea for the title ‘Make Me Crazy’

was not me crazy but the men in the audience.

The girls make them crazy, not me

Me, l’m happy to work, l love what I do

making the girls look beautiful.

I can’t ruin Roselyne’s work

ruin the image of the Crazy,

I can’t ruin myself

Should I remain silent and
act like a little mous

‘It’s not my fault’. It’s absurd!

We have to be happy and proud of what we do

In the beginning, I felt honoured,

but in the end...

I don’t want to shame the Crazy.

This meeting is about this:

we should have a complete
review from beginning t

and then share the work out between us,

so that the planning is completed within a week.

If I can’t have the full picture, l’ll give up

We felt it was logica

that you’d oversee

all the costumes of
the new show to keep it coher

That’s what they asked me at first, so

It’s much better that way, since myself

I now should oversee the consistency

in terms of choreography, music and structure.

If I cannot supervise the whole show,

it will end up being shaky.

The same goes for you.

You should supervise the costumes as a whole.

As for the method to do it, frankly

I’m lost, I don’t know

We have an approval process

which is normal’ for all the decisions.

You have to approve

Andrée must approve,

and Roselyne must approve.

It became anarchic

because at the same time
we were creating a new s

We should know who does what

We are always in creation

It’s been going so fast that
we lost touch with c

OK. Yes

Don’t smile.

Don’t look at me, look in front of you.

Let me... Let me see...

Yes, perfect

OK...

OK... turn your head

Turn your head a little bit on this side.

Lumina,

please understand that
these women are like riva

At first, they size each other up,

they look each other up and down,

they judge each other

to see who’s stronger,

more beautiful’ more competent

Then comes a phase of seduction with
a touch of r

They go into a kind of fight

both lethaland loving

and one kills the other

Zoo be zoo be zoo

be zoo be zoo...

Here we go

Push your hips up.

Don’t swing it, position yourself in profile.

‘We dance kind of funky,’

‘you might think we’re somewhat naughty,’

‘but please,’

‘don’t you get the wrong idea.’

Forward and up

‘All men with plenty of money...’

Baby, go backward,

keep in line with the others.

Profile

‘if you’

‘would like to be happy,’

‘in Paris,’

‘come to the Crazy Horse saloon.’

Lena, keep your hips up.

Don’t lower your head.

Final pose

Thank you, girls

We take it from

Is that it?

...Darling, what did you do with that pearl?

What? Pam pam pam pam.

‘l am a good girl.’

Hop hop hop... Hop

Good

OK! Pipimpipimpim... Good!

Bang

Backward!

Turn around

Oh yes!

I know what happened.

I showed you something that’s not in it.

This was good

But when you’re there...

You have no retire, you’re here.

You don’t lose time.

I just saw that l taught you incorrectly.

This foot down... and turn around.

Right

It gives you more time

I showed it to you with a retire

But it takes one beat more and you miss it.

Leg down, foot down...

it helps you turn around

Right. Exactly. And you leave. There

It’s been an excellent rehearsal.

Finale on stage, please

‘Desire’ is on!

I noticed that the good thing
with ‘Stars of Par

was that the three rows of sidelights were on

Sorry, but the problem is...

we’re not in the lighting angle

The moving walkway and the letters

are not lit by the sidelights

We could add more all the same

for the feeling

What worked well yesterday was that at times

all these lights were on

and anyway we had these two on... intermittently

So, in addition to the basic lighting,

we’ll need these

Not always, butiust to
have some sort of progres

so that you have more and more light.

You’re doing too many things at the same time

You decide on the lighting aesthetically

while setting the lighting to the music

What I would do...

what I did for ‘Jungle’ and with Dita

was to try it first manually
without recording th

We have to record it, it’s for tonight

We’ve been rehearsing manually for two days.

We can check it together

Could I have an almost naked girl inside a letter?

Almost naked?

Yes

This is beautiful

It’d be more beautiful
if the letters were animat

Frankly, l...

That’s sublime

Right, but we can’t have everything
at the same t

We said we’d have an animation
on the curtain, r

And on the letters

It stays when the curtain goes up

But at that moment, the girls are just posing

So you’d cut the animation and light the faces

To me, it’s madness, it’s much too quick

When the curtain goes up
we’d see only silhouett

Then the girls take their places,

sing and stay there.

This is when lighting the faces makes sense

because it lasts.

I understand your idea of the first image
but it

No animation of the letters

It has to ‘open’, possibly with some smoke

The opening could be a maxi-shock.

Minus three, approximately...

Two doubles...

Silicone rubber

Bust size...

I’ll see about the straps when you’re on stage.

Right now, they’re adjustable.

Let me see the back.

If the straps are too stretched

the back sags down, one can’t see the curve.

So you should

I think... it’s all right

Let’s try it with the fringes.

Where are they?

I don’t know.

I’ll get the fringes from Roselyne

Half an inch there

That’s better.

You were too close.

Try to adjust, approximately

If it’s too high, you adjust

Look for the right position.

You’re not centered, girls

Same here: it,s nicer
with only the buttocks pres

Stick the bust out.

You look like a pile of pudding.

Right, thank you!

Keep playing with your fingers

You’re not listening!

I am

Right! This is nice

And here you have to throw your arm

put the other on it

As if you were designing the glove

Don’t do...

It has to be fluid, fluid

You pull it and you stretch it and then... off.

Excellent, Liv

I’ve always been a devoted admirer of the Crazy

It was more than admiration, it was an obsession

I’ve seen the show at least forty times

I was always here, I sang the songs...

I can’t do it now that I’m part of the team.

I play the music at home and
my assistants go cra

they’re fed up with ‘You told me I’m a good girl’.

So I’m just very obsessional

I’ve had various obsessions

Saint-Laurent, Marlene Dietrich

Helmut Newton, the Crazy

The Crazy is one of my strongest obsessions.

And when I’m so obsessed with something

I put my whole life in it.

I’m obsessed with details that
may not interest P

who’s more about another vision of femininity.

At a certain point

he may have had some difficulties here

Maybe because he’s worked here too long

with everybody interfering and having an opinion

And since Philippe

is very democratic,

he tends to listen to everybody.

I don’t.

I listen to maybe three people whom I believe in

I may even be too much of a dictator

So Ali, are you the co-director of the show?

The artistic director. Philippe is the director

Artistic director because...

I came in much later than him,

and also because most of the acts
were already co

The artistic director... takes care of the ideas

Some acts we designed together.

Others have been designed by Philippe

My job is to look at things in a new light

I come after him.

I’m not a co-director. Philippe is the director

The one who conceived most of the acts.

I’m just an artistic director

But these are only titles.

At the end of the day,

everyone’s involved in a way

that we don’t know who’s the boss between us

But anyway... it’s still Philippe who is... on top

He deserves it because of
his talent and experien

the legitimacy that gives him rights.

Once again

Same thing, let’s go.

Go.

You were late again

Sing in playback, girls

You’re right together with the one on the chair.

The friends arrive

Where’s the other friend?

There’s another one. Number 6

Too early with the hand, Linda

Screen

It’s nice if they continue to sing.

Two acts will become classics.

They’re purely Crazy

They’re brand new and totally Crazy
at the same t

You’ll have to see it to understand

Philippe captured the essence of our brand

While creating something... almost revolutionary

One of the acts is...

Mr Bernardin from his grave would say

If I were still here, l’d have done that one.

Which one?

‘Blushing with Desire’

Mr Bernardin had his own definition of eroticism

What’s yours?

The ultimate thing is to suggest

To seduce, without offering oneself. Restraint.

I agree with Mr Bernardin:

it happens through frustration and imagination.

Through dreams, also. Dreaming is important.

And this is...

our trademark, in a way.

The Crazy has created,

celebrated and refined
a certain form in the art.

I think... an art to enhance...

to glorify and set off

women and women’s games of erotic seduction

in a way that is extremely

sophisticated and inspiring

Inspiring for women

Some may not agree with me,

but I think that the Crazy, somehow...

I’m not saying that women like it more...

it’s probably the only place today

where naked dancers on stage...

really attract women!

We have many women fans, many women clients

There’s a key here

When women posess
the key to eroticism and enjoy

men benefit from it.

That’s how it goes anyway, sorry, at least for me.

The key to eroticism is the woman.

It goes both ways

Both ways. Absolutely

Could we see now...

Light blue instead of red?

No

Let’s run through other colours to see which one

would suit us best

Can you scroll the colours of the sidelights

to see which colour could be better?

This is too much

Too red

Here you lose the red on the rope

Not bad

Dark blue.

Congo blue is not bad.

It’s interesting.

We’ll go with ‘Stars of Paris’

This one is perfect

One, two...OK

Done.

OK?

Come on...

Last one

Ali, are you particularly interested in costumes?

Not particularly. I’m interested in everything

I may be more interested in
costumes than Philipp

He’s mainly a dancer,

and the bodies are his instruments

I’m more interested in the ways people
transfigur

Particularly in the way a woman

can transform herself to look like

the fantasy she has of herself

It’s amazing how women have the power,

using what nature gave them,

to display artifices, tricks and strategies

They can transform themselves.

Beauty counts less than what you do with it

When a woman is over twenty-five,

her beauty is something she earns and constructs

My motto is: there are no ugly women.

Only women who refuse beauty

because they deny their femininity.

There are lazy women

I think that any woman with the right assets

can go beyond what she was born with.

You may see girls who are beautiful

when they’re young but don’t age well

They rely on the beauty they were given

without making any effort
and they lose their lo

They remain stuck to their image as little girls.

On the other hand, as we see it here

Well, they’re alleautiful.

But I often noticed that those of the girls

who objectively have a perfect anatomy

are not the best on stage

they rely only on beauty

The beauty they are born with
gives them self-con

They don’t have to go beyond that

While those who maybe have had complexes

have developed a strategy and a personality

that help them transcend their handicap

It makes them more fascinating and
mysterious on

There’s despair,

a feeling that all the love on earth
won’t be eno

What is Nahia doing?

She doesn’t understand

Is it because you’re new here?

Are you Spanish or what?

I’ve been working here for one year!

You’re not like Nooka, Zula or Psykko...

Do you want to be ‘hop’? On Thursday?

Right?

Put in costume.

I’m not going to put it there,

I don’t have enough space.

Go ahead, they are not here.

Changes

No, no,no. There are no changes

It’s a diapo, there are no changes in leopards.

But in ‘Infrared’

But no

I don’t like it. Sorry, girls

What?

The choreography sticks too much to the music

That’s good.

This comes from ‘Jungle’.

With a girl behind

That comes from ‘Evolution’.

It’s a pitty because it’s really good

And Lumi she turns on her left.

- I love that.
- Beautiful.

Impressive.

Yeah, it’s better with two girls.

I like the idea of the ‘leopard’ lighting

Why is he mulling over the pursuit...

Yes but it’s in the Prelude

- The lighting is great!
- Beautiful!

They’re like panthers.

We can’t see the girl behind! Too bad!

She’s dead

She’s spent.

We should have seen her die

I’... yxplain... you all understand French?

Let me explain how the audition goes

It’s very simple, don’t stress out

It’s really simple

You’ll go on stage with just a G-string on

And your shoes if you want.

You’ll be on our stage with nice lighting.

You’ll have music and
you’ll improvise during one

When you’ve finished, you come back here. OK?

This audition is meant to see

your body proportions and physical aspect.

It’s not about your dancing
or performing capacit

We’ll see who’s a dancer and who’s not anyway

You don’t have to warm up

or to do the splits or whatever

Be pretty, classy, relaxed,

don’t stress out.

And push your buttocks out.

OK?

She fainted before the audition!

The firemen came!

- Today?
- Today.

What is happennig is that...

Could you please come and watch a second

I don’t know.

Thank you. Please stay on the stage

Music off.

Can you take off your shoes?

Take position

Put your knees together

Profile

Thank you.

Next

Oh yeah

Yeah it’s fun...

I saw his waist and that he hadn’t breasts

and I said wow

OK, good.

Thank you Maurizio

Thank you.

We don’t hire transsexuals.

I found it charming

Please open the curtain, cut the house lights.

All the dancers on stage, line up, no shoes.

Quite a line

Sorry, girls, you have to stay there

We have to compare the heights

I know you may feel idiotic

So, one...

- The third
- The fourth.

Next, not sure, not sure... that one

The fifth, the one with the blue G-string

And that one

Have them step forward.

Girls, I don’t remember your names

and I’m all mixed up.

So, starting from the control booth

Right, there

Number two...

Number four...

Number five

What’s her name?

Olivia. I remember one name

Next one.

Melissa, come forward

And the last one, Tatiana

We have six.

Won’t you keep the Italian girl?

The one with the nice buttocks?

Nice indeed

Until the rehearsal ?

The one who dreams ofjoining the Crazy?

I don’t like her

- The Italian?
- Right, true

Those who are in front will remain,

the others may go and I’ll ioin them soon

Get together

Olivia, you’re small, but never mind

Small is cute. It’s not pejorative

The number two looks like Kate Moss

True.

Her legs are short.

It doesn’t matter

Can you please turn around?

Push your buttocks out.

Backwards, bend, bend, that’s it.

More.

- More?
- Yes

How many Russians are there?

They’re the best

These two are the best, no?

A gap between the thighs.

Doesn’t matter.

Profile, please.

She’s beautiful.

Very cute. And she’s got character.

To the dressing room.

I’ll be right with you

Not bad

It’s a supreme achievement of
beauty under variou

For us, it has been a huge joy to work here

When I’m in a rehearsal, l sometimes think:

Not only do I attend a real rehearsal

but we’re directing it

I have to pinch myself to make sure l belong...

to this place of ultimate refinement,
beauty and

- Did I answer your question?
- Splendidly.

And now, in English, with the same eloquence.

Well it’s very difficult to...

how do you say ‘résumer’, to resume?

It’s very difficult to sum up
the show of the Cra

because it’s in fact a different er

side of the woman and the erotism

defined initially by Bernardin

So, it’s not like a... ‘total story’

it’s more a portion of desire that you receive,

but the thing is that I always...

when I first time I saw the Crazy Horse

it was for me one of the most beautiful’

the most moving thing I ever saw in my life

And I always think that everybody

like really the French government
should force ev

and see the Crazy Horse once in his life,

to understand how a woman can

how the... what level of beauty a woman can reach

how powerful it can be

and how much it’s much more about only desire,

it’s about emotions that go beyond your mind

that touch your unconscious and
go through your v

I have goose bumps,

and l bring friends here

who had a preconceived idea of the Crazy Horse

who thought that it was a revue for
Japanese tour

who came here, and

people from the art, big actress
great directors

who came here and who were entranced.

And I have friends who come here

and who cry when they see such a level of beauty.

And for us to be able to work on this place

and sometimes realize that in fact

we are at this highest level of...

beauty and feminity that could ever be reached

and we are in fact part of that

is something that is really thrilling

and we have to pinch ourselves
to realize that it

So it’s not... we cannot
reduce the Crazy Horse t

it really is something that’s beyond any...

I rarely see something... feel something

You can have the same impact
when you look at ‘Sh

or Fellini’s or Fassbinder movie,

or Michael Powell, who inspire us for the show -

yes, when you are in front of those piece of art,

you can have this thrill.

And I had something similar with the Crazy Horse.

In your eyes

I shall drown. May I?

To drown in your eyes is a happiness

I’ll come and say

I love you so much

May I?

No, it’s not easy to love. It’s hard. very hard.

I’ll come close to a steep cliff

Will you catch me in time?

If I go away, will you write to me?

I can’t be without you. I want to be with you.

Not for a minute, not for a month. Forever.

All my life, do you understand?

I’m afraid of your answer

Answer me, but don’t say a word

Answer me with your eyes.

Do you love me?

If you do, I promise

that you’ll happy with me forever

If you don’t, then I beg you,

don’t look at me, don’t kill me

If you want to love someone else, do it

But remember me just a little

I’ll go on loving you. Agreed?

Like it or not, I’ll love you

and I’ll always be there for you

whenever you need me.
