Cabaret ViVi : Revue Manifeste

Virulent vulvas in zippy poetry and plunging waistlines?

Come Live and quickly... A vast and voluptuous voyage, a divine and deviant trip to Victor Victoria:

A "Come-and-go" cabaret of shady creatures, virginal or virile, in colorful cases with a VIVIfying

verve !!! !

Cabaret VI-VI is La Bellini the carnal-emancipated, Madame the sacred-monster, Kahina the virtu-oso pianist, and Robi the existen-tial-ist. One a circus artist, the other an actress-opera singer, the third a classical and pop pianist, and the fourth an indie singer and poetess, they met at Cabaret Le Secret, now known as La Barbichette at the Moulin Rouge, created and led by the great Monsieur K.

The name Victor-Victoria refers to Blake Edwards' wonderful comedy, which tells the story of an artist woman who, no longer finding work, disguises herself as a man... who disguises himself as a woman on stage, in order to get hired and—through this stratagem—becomes a star.

ViVi and its little manifest revue of never-disappointing timeliness was born from an urgency: to dedicate a free stage space to women.

Inclusivity is the essence of the project; it unfolds across artistic universes and disciplines as diverse as the creatures moving within them: the rebellious, the passionate, the impolite, the insolent, the lovers, opera singers, acrobats, performers, musicians, drag kings, striptease artists...

Cabaret as a vast testing ground for audacious and absurd creations with an aesthetic that is loud, outrageous, yet refined. Cabaret as a form of rejoicing, disobedience, resistance, and speech.

Bodies, voices, words, and masks unite to shatter the constraints of stage spaces and society.

Victor-Victoria delivers to the audience the depth of poetic and political thoughts in a showcase of joy, lightness, and a pinch of bad taste.

At Théâtre Clavel in Paris every month as well as on tour, La Bellini, Madame, Kahina, and Robi offer with each edition a new experience as a quartet or by inviting other creatures to join them, musicians and performers always colorful and rich in emotion. The Vivies are all-terrain and as flexible as La Bellini's spine when it comes to expressing themselves without hindrance on stages, outdoor dance halls, big tops, bar counters, cobblestone streets, and beaches.
