For the first Saison Cabaret at Chaillot – Théâtre National de la Danse, the event explores the history and diversity of cabaret through a series of performances across different spaces. Guided by Martin Dust and Monsieur K, the evening brings together various cabaret styles, generations, and repertoires in a celebration of shared culture and artistic expression. Each ticket corresponds to a specific route through the venue, ensuring that no two spectators experience exactly the same journey. One such route, followed on September 24, begins in the staircases, moves through the large foyer, and ends in the Gémier hall, creating a unique experience for each participant. The performances throughout the evening draw on a wide range of references, from Raymond Devos and Arthur Avellano to Lady Gaga, Céline Dion, David Bowie, and the "Immortel" Alain Bashung. These references span generations and styles, bringing together humor, emotion, and a shared cultural heritage. From skits to reinterpreted songs, the evening unites diverse artists who each bring their own unique voice while contributing to a common artistic language. Martin Dust and Monsieur K, known for their work with Cabaret de Poussière and La Barbichette respectively, serve as hosts, blending humor, sensitivity, and cultural knowledge throughout the night. The Crazy Horse Paris troupe delivers a performance marked by precise choreography, glamour, and playful audacity. Their gestures and staging reflect the signature style of this iconic Parisian institution, which continues to evolve while maintaining its distinct identity. Meanwhile, La Nouvelle Ève brings a different energy, evoking the spirit of Montmartre and the legacy of Édith Piaf. The performance focuses on the vitality and generosity of its performers, breathing new life into classic references rather than dwelling in nostalgia. A standout moment comes from Vénus Noire, an Afro-queer troupe founded by Michelle Tshibola. The group's performance highlights the strength of its members and their commitment to redefining the narratives and aesthetics of cabaret. Their presence reminds the audience of the contributions of Black women to musical and cultural legacies. Another highlight is La Bouche, which brings together four artists in a powerful rendition of "Immortels," a song written by Dominique A and originally performed by Alain Bashung. The performance combines vocal excellence with a deep connection to Bashung’s legacy and the assertive style of the performers, creating a deeply moving moment.
