Oh Paris

Desires (Désirs) is the new show at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris. Starting from September 21, 2009 with the launch of the new Crazy Horse show the temperature will rise in Paris.

Crazy Horse Paris Désirs

The new show Désirs, which is directed by Philippe Decouflé and artistic director Ali Mahdavi, is inspired by the eternal theme of femininity, and consists of a series of highly aesthetic and visual tableaus presented by the legendary troupe Crazy Horse dancers. On stage in Paris are the sensual, playful and evocative legends such as Zula Zazou, Jade Or, Psykko Tico and Nooka Karamel.

These classically trained dancers and their spectacular bodies perfectly integrate the sensuous choreography of their performances. Each dancer is bathed in richly colored and textured lighting designs. The colors and images from the dazzling light effects are so vast that it is hard to determine where skin of the gorgeous Crazy Horse dancer ends and the color reflections begin.

The Crazy Horse Paris was originally a wine bar at the Right Bank of the river Seine. Customers, seated at little tables or standing at the bar, came for a drink and to admire famous dancers such as Rita Renoir, Poupée la Rose, Bertha Von Paraboum, Lova Moor or Rosa Fumetto. In 1989 Alain Bernardin turned the Crazy Horse into a tiny theatre.

Paris Plage (Paris Beach) is back again in the capital of France. From July 20 till August 20 Parisians and tourists can enjoy the yearly artificial beach at the borders of the Seine river. Paris Plage turns Paris in a real seaside resort, and probably with much more entertainment than most cities at the borer of the sea.

This year’s Paris Beach is focused on the environment (by separating trash, recycled sand, controlled water usage etc), but also cultural activities, sports, relaxation and good mood …

Paris Plage has made it mark since its conception in July 2002 by transforming part of river Seine banks, usually occupied by traffic jams, into a beach. It’s main purpose is to allow Parisian, who do not go on summer holidays, and of course the guests of the city the delight of beach entertainment.

Paris Plage (Paris beach) offers everything you find on a real beach like tons of sand, water mist sprayers to cool off, armchairs to relax, and beach cabins made of wood and steel.

But Paris plage is also free concerts, free sports, and lots of cultural events.

Paris Beach can be found on the Voie Georges-Pompidou in the center of Paris.
