9
00:00:23,843 --> 00:00:25,843
You dream of dancing at Moulin Rouge.

10
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:29,749
- [Translator] Sometimes I
feel disturbed by that thought

11
00:00:29,749 --> 00:00:32,073
that one day I won't be able to dance again.

18
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:57,923
somewhere between reality and imagination.

Let's roam in
history and current time

20

from the most famous revue
theater of all time,

and see the secret
the world behind the curtain

and cancan starts

00:01:28,178 --> 00:01:32,580
as a shout, when they shouted, they shouted.

29
00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:35,030
A little more screams

30
00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:37,646
freedom and freedom for women.

33

- [Translator] In 1889,

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,040
and even until 1925, women did not have a voice.

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,400
Have to squeeze yourself
in a dress that is too tight,

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,160
not allowed to drive
cars or smoke in public.

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,950
There is no tolerance for women.

38
00:01:59,950 --> 00:02:02,702
Going out is something for the rich,

39
00:02:02,702 --> 00:02:06,923
accompanied by women at night
dresses and lots of jewelry.

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,692
Unlike this is a poor person,

41
00:02:09,692 --> 00:02:12,940
factory workers, bakers and washers.

42
00:02:12,940 --> 00:02:14,910
These two worlds rarely meet.

43
00:02:14,910 --> 00:02:17,636
It is an upper class society
from Boulogne and Orleans

44
00:02:17,636 --> 00:02:20,213
with a tailcoat and their top hat that goes

to Moulin Rouge for fun.

("Cancan Music" by Offenbach)

47

La Goulue, who is greedy,
His real name is Louise Weber.

48
00:02:34,592 --> 00:02:37,980
He is an ordinary girl
who goes to Montmartre,

49
00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:40,254
drink a lot and dance cancan
in Segale.

50
00:02:40,254 --> 00:02:43,490
He is called Goulue because
he likes to drink a lot.

51
00:02:43,490 --> 00:02:44,620
One night he was found

52
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:46,762
in Segale by Joseph Oller.

53
00:02:46,762 --> 00:02:49,773
He convinced him to show him
cancan at Moulin Rouge,

54
00:02:49,773 --> 00:02:51,933
and it became a big success.

55
00:02:53,036 --> 00:02:55,900
- [Translator] It's always
my dream becomes like Goulue,

56
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:57,472
even though it's really different

57
00:02:57,472 --> 00:02:59,283
dance style at that time.

58
00:03:00,505 --> 00:03:02,370
- [Translator] Joseph
Oller, founder

59
00:03:02,370 --> 00:03:04,721
Moulin Rouge, decide
that this cancan should be

60
00:03:04,721 --> 00:03:07,230
official dance from its establishment.

61
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:09,620
People have never seen it
like that before,

62
00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:10,998
the girls throw their feet in the air

63
00:03:10,998 --> 00:03:14,430
and show yourself
the audience is half naked.

64
00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:16,511
Those people are truly fascinated.

65
00:03:16,511 --> 00:03:19,390
- They want to go out and
prove their independence,

66
00:03:19,390 --> 00:03:23,360
and cancan are ways to do that,

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,200
shows their independence,
that they can do this,

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,467
and show their ankles if they want.

69
00:03:30,467 --> 00:03:32,400
- [Translator] Men
gather around the stage.

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,500
They want it to be as close as possible to dancers.

71
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:39,210
From one day to the next, this
Dance becomes very popular.

72
00:03:39,210 --> 00:03:41,400
Toulouse-Lautrec put it on canvas,

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,105
the bourgeoisie finds that place.

74
00:03:43,105 --> 00:03:45,600
This gives men the opportunity to see women

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,039
in an unprecedented rarity.

76
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:52,040
And for women, that is the way
expresses their freedom.

77
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,768
They are even allowed to touch men,

78
00:03:53,768 --> 00:03:56,383
which is considered
inappropriate elsewhere.

79

(cheering woman)
(play cabaret music)

80
00:04:09,630 --> 00:04:12,590
From 1925, the general public was found

81
00:04:12,590 --> 00:04:14,470
revues from the 20s gold.

82
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:17,040
From that moment on, not only
Parisians and people

83
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,000
coming from the suburbs, tourists
come from other countries

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,940
like the United States or United Kingdom.

85
00:04:22,940 --> 00:04:24,788
They visit Moulin
Rouge which has become

86
00:04:24,788 --> 00:04:27,723
symbol for Paris, City of Lights.

87
00:04:28,996 --> 00:04:30,790
- The difference with cancan is

88
00:04:31,763 --> 00:04:33,890
it's technically improved.

89
00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:35,520
- [Translator] The cancan
is difficult to dance.

90
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,200
You have to train it almost
like professional athletes.

91
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,503
This requires a lot of physical fitness.

92
00:04:46,238 --> 00:04:47,660
- [Translator] It's quite demanding

93
00:04:47,660 --> 00:04:49,184
in terms of muscle strength.

94
00:04:49,184 --> 00:04:51,923
This requires a lot of body control.

95
00:04:53,650 --> 00:04:55,680
If you don't have it, you can easily

96
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,693
pull your muscles with cancan.

97
00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:02,232
- [Translator] Regardless of my experience,

98
00:05:02,232 --> 00:05:04,803
I have to practice three months for that.

99
00:05:07,230 --> 00:05:10,083
Running, dancing, and a strict diet.

100
00:05:13,363 --> 00:05:17,030
(instrumental sultry music)

101
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:21,750
- Legs are taller, stiffer,

102
00:05:21,750 --> 00:05:23,542
it was built for years.

103
00:05:23,542 --> 00:05:27,375
("Cancan Music" by Offenbach)

104
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,540
- [Translator] One important thing,

105
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:44,787
always warm up, it
puts the burden on your body.

106
00:05:44,787 --> 00:05:47,190
You need to warm up properly if you want

107
00:05:47,190 --> 00:05:50,073
to continue to do it for the old
without injury.

108
00:05:51,191 --> 00:05:55,051
Warming is the biggest part of
work as a cancan dancer.

109
00:05:55,051 --> 00:05:58,870
They spend 30 seconds
one minute on stage,

110
00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:03,373
but warm-up time before that
one hour, with each show.

111
00:06:05,046 --> 00:06:08,686
- The numbers, like that, are quite
based on history

112
00:06:08,686 --> 00:06:12,451
around political plays, you
know, cathedral, hmm,

113
00:06:12,451 --> 00:06:15,097
and wink in the church, which poured dame,

114
00:06:15,097 --> 00:06:16,700
wink at the military.

115
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,242
There are so many, it's almost like a comic script.

("Cancan Music" by Offenbach)

117
00:06:27,007 --> 00:06:30,170
And maybe a little like
today, on Friday night

118
00:06:30,170 --> 00:06:33,066
they will come out, and create chaos.

(laugh)

120
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,190
- Cathedral, and we do it together,

121
00:06:36,190 --> 00:06:37,943
and we are right in front.

122
00:06:40,186 --> 00:06:41,716
- Yes, everything
does it with two hands,

123
00:06:41,716 --> 00:06:44,620
but we have to do it with one hand.

124
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:47,752
- [Translator] As we
always cross each other

125
00:06:47,752 --> 00:06:49,455
during the dance round, we never

126
00:06:49,455 --> 00:06:52,073
really completely safe from injury.

127
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:55,260
- And you're trying
to keep something

128
00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:59,190
technically good and harmonious aesthetic,

129
00:06:59,190 --> 00:07:02,223
while still trying
that sense of freedom,

130
00:07:02,223 --> 00:07:07,223
and riots, and total release.

The biggest Moulin Rouge

Thierry is used to be the stage
partner returns that day.

Today, he is the director, and is responsible for

for the entire stage program.

141
00:07:55,057 --> 00:07:56,703
- [Translator] Do you remember Brazil?

142
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,319
You have an amazing dress and we dance

143
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:02,280
in a rather flat movement,
left, right,

144
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,173
and then you climb on my shoulder.

145
00:08:06,140 --> 00:08:07,940
- [Translator] Small shoulders like that.

(cabaret style music)

147
00:08:13,540 --> 00:08:16,230
And all musicians are there.

- [Translator] 17
musician and a conductor.

149
00:08:19,860 --> 00:08:21,170
- [Translator] There
is another orchestra,

150
00:08:21,170 --> 00:08:23,050
too, it's there to motivate

151
00:08:23,050 --> 00:08:25,350
the audience dances during dinner.

152
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:28,020
They all dance, I remember that very well.

153
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:30,350
We sit in the dressing room
room, use our makeup,

154
00:08:30,350 --> 00:08:33,003
and hear music and
clanking from the plate.

155
00:08:36,201 --> 00:08:39,673
That's really impressive, and
there is that water basin.

156
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,202
- [Translator] The basin
down here, is still there.

157

- [Translator] Oh, huh?

- [Translator] But this is new, right?

160
00:08:47,980 --> 00:08:50,153
- [Translator] These two are
platforms, yes, they are new.

161
00:08:51,034 --> 00:08:52,617
- Ah, Moulin Rouge.

162
00:08:55,463 --> 00:08:56,296
Follement.

163
00:08:57,810 --> 00:08:59,830
- [Narrator] When young
women, Lisette works

164
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:02,830
in a small salon on la rue Milton.

165
00:09:02,830 --> 00:09:06,440
At night, he sells
bills at Casino du Paris,

166
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,071
where he was found on the stage

167
00:09:08,071 --> 00:09:12,230
by famous choreographer in 1970.

168
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:16,043
Six years later, he was the star of the Moulin Rouge.

169
00:09:17,790 --> 00:09:20,960
- [Translator] 1976, Follement.

170
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,240
That is the new prime minister
revue at Moulin Rouge.

171
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,480
Lisette Malidor is the opening.

172
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,264
Moulin Rouge is the biggest one  commercial consumer champagne,

173
00:09:29,264 --> 00:09:31,706
240,000 bottles per
years, namely in 1976.

174
00:09:31,706 --> 00:09:36,706
But today?

175
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:39,060


176
00:09:39,060 --> 00:09:43,015
I never drink much, I have to make sense.

177
00:09:43,015 --> 00:09:44,910
(laugh)

178
00:09:44,910 --> 00:09:47,290
- [Translator] You are naked
here, do you remember?

179
00:09:47,290 --> 00:09:48,570
- [Translator] Well, it's not really naked.

180
00:09:48,570 --> 00:09:50,710
We discuss important parts!

181
00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:52,430
- [Translator] Covered,
okay, but you don't use straps

182
00:09:52,430 --> 00:09:55,080
and no bra, everything
is hidden under rhinestone.

183
00:09:55,950 --> 00:09:57,570
And the incredible extraordinary boots,

184
00:09:57,570 --> 00:10:00,050
that is the perfect costume for you.

185
00:10:00,050 --> 00:10:01,870
- [Translator] This is
bills for Follements.

186
00:10:01,870 --> 00:10:03,350
All registered managers.

187
00:10:03,350 --> 00:10:07,853
Jackie Cherico, Doris Haug.
(in French)

188
00:10:08,930 --> 00:10:11,823
People call me the new Josephine Baker.

189
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,960
- [Translator] Lisette is used by
to work best  Vaudeville Theater in Paris.

190
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,100


191
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:21,880
He has this particular emission,
something exotic and wild

192
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,883
who works amazingly on stage.

193
00:10:25,370 --> 00:10:27,109
Roland Petit found it and told him

194
00:10:27,109 --> 00:10:29,830
immediately get on that stage.

195
00:10:29,830 --> 00:10:31,013
I want you to be there.

196
00:10:32,704 --> 00:10:36,200
(cabaret style music)

197
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,536
- [Translator] That's right, it's difficult  to switch from vaudeville to theater.

198
00:10:37,536 --> 00:10:40,265
I then understood that there was such a thing  cultural racism.

199
00:10:40,265 --> 00:10:42,630
People know me from vaudeville and

200
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:44,255
they expect me to live there.

201
00:10:44,255 --> 00:10:46,680
- [Translator] You want
to destroy this image.

202
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,623
First you want
girls with feathers

203
00:10:50,405 --> 00:10:52,840
will ole ole ole and then
you talk about negritude,

204
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,450
quote black writer.

205
00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:57,907
That requires a lot of courage.

206
00:10:57,907 --> 00:10:59,635
Nobody does this.

207
00:10:59,635 --> 00:11:01,320


208
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,120


209
00:11:05,191 --> 00:11:07,030
- [Translator] This is not a natural thing

210
00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:09,203
to find your place if you are different.

211
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:14,300
In vaudeville theater,
I can somehow forget

212
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:19,300
this difference like me
can laugh, show my body.

213
00:11:21,130 --> 00:11:25,573
I am allowed to be seen, desired.

214
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:30,320
- [Translator] Lisette
Malidor is very suitable

215
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,140
in the image of Moulin Rouge.

216
00:11:32,140 --> 00:11:34,968
When he enters the place,
people will not recognize him.

217
00:11:34,968 --> 00:11:37,840
He must dress
the room, use his makeup,

218
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,958
her dress and rhinestone and feathers

219
00:11:39,958 --> 00:11:42,730
and become a star when he goes on stage.

220
00:11:42,730 --> 00:11:45,020
He wears a star costume.

221
00:11:45,020 --> 00:11:48,163
The audience was fascinated
once the show began.

222
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,810
After the show, he left the theater through the back door

223
00:11:52,810 --> 00:11:55,553
and nobody recognizes it on the street.

224
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,233
People think he is fair
an ordinary black woman,

225
00:12:00,233 --> 00:12:03,580
no one will think of that
he is a Moulin Rouge dancer.

226
00:12:03,580 --> 00:12:06,083
No matter how great or
majestic he might be.

227
00:12:09,315 --> 00:12:12,023
- [Translator] It's beautiful to experience that  because it makes me forget
my own past for some time.

228
00:12:13,035 --> 00:12:17,493
For the time being it helps me
forget that I'm Black.

229
00:12:19,098 --> 00:12:23,243
(instrumental music)

230
00:12:26,875 --> 00:12:28,510
- [Narrator] Dancers from all over the world dream

231
00:12:28,510 --> 00:12:30,867
career on stage
from Moulin Rouge,

232
00:12:30,867 --> 00:12:33,883
but it will still be
dreaming for most of them.

233
00:12:35,410 --> 00:12:37,943
- Today, everyone will start
arrive and then we have

234
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:45,290
to try and control where they go.

235
00:12:45,290 --> 00:12:47,533
We expect around 80
people, which is a big number.

236
00:12:47,533 --> 00:12:51,830


237
00:12:51,830 --> 00:12:53,640
This means this time we can't really

238
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,762
do auditions in the practice room.

239
00:12:55,762 --> 00:12:58,810
We have to start on the stage.

240
00:12:58,810 --> 00:13:03,810
Okay, what I will do is there are less boys,

241
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:06,550
as usual, unfortunately.

242
00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:08,163
I will only start from here.

243
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,380
Joe will make you staples.

244
00:13:12,380 --> 00:13:13,313
Bianca.

245
00:13:15,026 --> 00:13:17,460
Nice to meet you, Bianca.

246
00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:18,293
Hi, there.

247
00:13:19,704 --> 00:13:23,150
Maybe it's easier if you
many come here for Joe.

248
00:13:23,150 --> 00:13:26,130
Whoo, Sydney Showboat.
- [Dancer] Yes.

249
00:13:26,130 --> 00:13:27,807
- Wow, you've come all the way.

250
00:13:29,251 --> 00:13:31,640
And that will show them some choreography.

251
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,080
They will find
the floor doing the choreography.

252
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,510
That will give me the first look.

253
00:13:36,510 --> 00:13:38,323
We try to calm everyone.

254
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:41,870
- Pas de bourr├⌐e, right
de bourr├⌐e, en voter.

255
00:13:41,870 --> 00:13:45,211
You move forward at
change pas de bourr├⌐e.

256
00:13:45,211 --> 00:13:47,810
Soutenu with his hands raised.

257
00:13:47,810 --> 00:13:49,133
Jump, release.

258
00:13:50,370 --> 00:13:51,820
Push.

259
00:13:51,820 --> 00:13:54,553
This runs seven and eight.

260
00:13:54,553 --> 00:13:56,330
Yes, now with me.

261
00:13:56,330 --> 00:13:58,153
Just mark where you are.

262
00:13:58,153 --> 00:14:01,150
Five, six, seven, eight.

263
00:14:01,150 --> 00:14:04,830
and one and two, three, and four,

264
00:14:04,830 --> 00:14:08,013
five, six, up, seven and eight.

265
00:14:08,850 --> 00:14:09,683
Yes or no?

266
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:12,100
- [Translator] When young
Your dancer has a choice

267
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,790
between some shabby and opera ballets.

268
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:17,370
And the Moulin Rouge is
somewhere in between.

269
00:14:17,370 --> 00:14:19,590
If you are from Australia
or another place

270
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:21,837
at the end of the world
and offered a chance

271
00:14:21,837 --> 00:14:25,756
dancing in Moulin Rouge
in Paris, City of Light,

272
00:14:25,756 --> 00:14:28,083
You will not hesitate for a second.

273
00:14:30,208 --> 00:14:33,720
- You begin to feel it
by the way people stand,

274
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,120
by the way they see and they
listen to the choreography,

275
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,870
and by the way they behave
during auditions,

276
00:14:41,870 --> 00:14:43,870
how they follow instructions.

277
00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:48,230
You can already see, you can feel it.

278
00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:50,768
The way they smile, the way they laugh.

279
00:14:50,768 --> 00:14:54,435
(Don't Say & apos; Em by Jeremih)

280
00:14:57,496 --> 00:15:02,176
- [Dancer] I'll give a tip, don't worry.

281
00:15:02,176 --> 00:15:04,480
Okay, here it is, ready?

282
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,803
- And then I will begin to thin out.

283
00:15:07,803 --> 00:15:08,686
(pop music)

284
00:15:08,686 --> 00:15:12,936
(choreographer gives instructions)

285
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:18,290
- [Choreographer] Five,
six, seven, eight, one.

286
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,460
- Gail.

287
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:25,543
- [Natalie] Natalie Bukra.

288
00:15:28,025 --> 00:15:29,325
- [Victoria] Victoria Bell.

289
00:15:29,325 --> 00:15:33,225
- Victoria Bell, therefore
there are two Victoria holidays

290
00:15:33,225 --> 00:15:34,743
because we have a party tonight.

291
00:15:34,743 --> 00:15:38,800
Basically, I'm looking for
dancers who can learn quickly.

292
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,180
I will look very
nice figure and long legs

293
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:44,410
to look good in costumes.

294
00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:46,340
And then I will see those faces.

295
00:15:46,340 --> 00:15:48,340
Face, very, very important.

296
00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:51,210
So I will look for heights, of course.

297
00:15:51,210 --> 00:15:53,660
We recommend one meter, 75 for girls

298
00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:56,460
and one meter, 85 for boys.

299
00:15:56,460 --> 00:15:57,610
- [Translator] Why do you choose to dance

300
00:15:57,610 --> 00:15:59,540
in the Moulin Rouge instead of ballet?

301
00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:01,016
Those are all questions about height.

302
00:16:01,016 --> 00:16:02,904
After you are greater than one meter, 70

303
00:16:02,904 --> 00:16:05,170
You don't have a chance in ballet

304
00:16:05,170 --> 00:16:08,040
so try your luck at Moulin Rouge.

305
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,463
- Janet has a lot of hair, ha!

306
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,473
172.
(in French)

307
00:16:17,473 --> 00:16:18,400
- [Rick] Name?

308
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,192
- Tanya.
- [Janet] Tanya.

309
00:16:20,192 --> 00:16:22,466
- Tatiana.
- [Janet] Tatiana.

310
00:16:22,466 --> 00:16:25,630
(in French)

311
00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:27,375
You watch heels there, Rick?

312
00:16:27,375 --> 00:16:28,542
- [Rick] Yes.

313
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,050
- Wait a minute, I have, oh.

314
00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:35,083
OK, 173.

315
00:16:36,290 --> 00:16:37,123
Just rude.

316
00:16:38,170 --> 00:16:39,263
- [Translator] That's evil.

317
00:16:39,263 --> 00:16:41,964
- [Janet] 169 half.

318
00:16:41,964 --> 00:16:43,882
- [Translator] 69.

319
00:16:43,882 --> 00:16:45,170
(Dancers laugh)

320
00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:50,170
- You realize that, like me
auditions around the world,

321
00:16:51,550 --> 00:16:55,820
if people are better than
you or if there is someone

322
00:16:55,820 --> 00:17:00,820
like you, I will always
choose a higher girl, okay?

323
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:02,950
Yes?

324
00:17:02,950 --> 00:17:07,950
So your chances of being truly
are offered a job

325
00:17:08,538 --> 00:17:11,133
is greatly reduced now.

326
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:14,780
- Have you ever heard of
what they did in Paris

327
00:17:14,780 --> 00:17:16,870
with high dancers, because like

328
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:18,270
five-eleven, six feet.

329
00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:20,940
- I know that they love tall girls and

330
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:24,700
because I am five feet eleven I think

331
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:26,940
that would be a good idea for auditions.

332
00:17:26,940 --> 00:17:30,410
- So I'm not always
think I want to do it

333
00:17:30,410 --> 00:17:31,880
Because I went to ballet school

334
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,450
so I thought I might do ballet first.

335
00:17:34,450 --> 00:17:38,760
- And then I do
gymnastics until I am 14 years old,

336
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,680
and then at the age of 14 I was too high

337
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,443
to continue gymnastics.

338
00:17:42,443 --> 00:17:45,526
(upbeat dance music)

339
00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:57,120
- 20 minutes, well, you
let them go to the toilet

340
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:58,793
and drink water.
- [Rick] Okay.

341
00:18:00,010 --> 00:18:02,135
- Does anyone need a bathroom?

342
00:18:02,135 --> 00:18:06,640
- Well, I auditioned last year in July,

343
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,197
and I have to do two auditions because

344
00:18:10,197 --> 00:18:12,300
there are two around where I live.

345
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:15,970
And the first thing they told me was
I'm too short to come here.

346
00:18:15,970 --> 00:18:18,320
And then I do my one
think three days later

347
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,311
and I am the right height
so it must grow overnight.

348
00:18:22,311 --> 00:18:23,762
(laugh)

349
00:18:23,762 --> 00:18:26,173
(in French)

350
00:18:26,173 --> 00:18:29,470
- [Translator] This is very
the stress you need

351
00:18:29,470 --> 00:18:32,253
to shine among hundreds of other girls.

352
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:35,973
You need to show your motivation.

353
00:18:41,910 --> 00:18:43,170
- [Translator] I don't have training,

354
00:18:43,170 --> 00:18:45,740
my work sells programs in the hall

355
00:18:45,740 --> 00:18:48,290
and I don't understand what
do when someone comes

356
00:18:48,290 --> 00:18:51,110
to me and said I want
to see you on stage,

357
00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:53,220
let's find out if you can move.

358
00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:55,010
And I am very clumsy and feel

359
00:18:55,010 --> 00:18:57,520
like a small animal when I get on stage.

360
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,407
I just heard Roland Petit say,

361
00:18:59,407 --> 00:19:01,477
"Oh boy, what will we do to him?"

362
00:19:03,850 --> 00:19:06,110
- [Translator] I will never
forget how it started with me.

363
00:19:06,110 --> 00:19:09,400
I spent a night in a hotel near Gare de Lyon

364
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,483
and wake up very early
I don't take a nap.

365
00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:16,580
And because I don't bring
dressing I go to several stores,

366
00:19:16,580 --> 00:19:17,713
clothing store.

367
00:19:19,417 --> 00:19:21,850
I bought some clothes,
went to auditions,

368
00:19:21,850 --> 00:19:22,873
and get my contract.

369
00:19:24,342 --> 00:19:27,259
(optimistic pop music)

370
00:19:31,541 --> 00:19:32,374
- Cha cha!

371
00:19:36,203 --> 00:19:40,372
Γ ¬ I have a match,
You get petrol ¬¬

372
00:19:40,372 --> 00:19:44,173
ΓΓ¬ Turn on the floor
like that Billie Jean ΓÖ¬

373
00:19:44,173 --> 00:19:47,884
ΓΓ¬ The way we move
at the end of the song ΓÖ¬

374
00:19:47,884 --> 00:19:52,884
ΓÖ¬ They must do it
fire drag, ΓÖ¬ fire alarm

375
00:19:53,003 --> 00:19:57,820
- There are some good ones
elements, some not so good.

376
00:19:57,820 --> 00:19:59,477
So I'm very happy at the end.

377
00:19:59,477 --> 00:20:02,623
Have a lotta kiss, a sweaty kiss,

378
00:20:03,592 --> 00:20:06,010
so I'm glad they
all enjoy themselves.

379
00:20:06,010 --> 00:20:07,160
I think that's great.

380
00:20:08,001 --> 00:20:11,501
(soft instrumental music)

381
00:20:15,563 --> 00:20:17,963
- [Narrator] Every day, every night,

382
00:20:17,963 --> 00:20:21,430
every year, magic rises.

383
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:23,590
Everything is right.

384
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:26,373
Routine becomes a ritual and movement

385
00:20:26,373 --> 00:20:29,290
changed to choreography.

386
00:20:29,290 --> 00:20:34,290
More than 80 men and women
artists prepare for their performances.

387
00:20:34,450 --> 00:20:39,163
120 people will provide
food for 900 guests.

388
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:44,103
The show is sold out, almost as usual.

389
00:21:06,459 --> 00:21:10,240
There are two shows per
days and 60 dancers,

390
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,570
which is called Doriss Girls,

391
00:21:12,570 --> 00:21:15,370
is the main attraction of this program.

392
00:21:15,370 --> 00:21:19,170
Their names come from
Native Germans, Doris Haug,

393
00:21:19,170 --> 00:21:22,850
who founded this cancan group in 1957

394
00:21:22,850 --> 00:21:26,070
and help put Moulin
Rouge back to the map

395
00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:28,970
with the choreography and the show.

396
00:21:28,970 --> 00:21:32,900
In 2014, he died at the age of 87,

397
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:36,487
but the Doriss girl continues
dancing day after day.

398
00:21:40,403 --> 00:21:45,153
(dancers and chat staff backstage)

399
00:21:46,347 --> 00:21:50,597
(Dancers who speak foreign languages)

400
00:22:06,147 --> 00:22:08,814
(cabaret music)

401
00:22:18,010 --> 00:22:20,560
- [Translator] The first
time always feels strange.

402
00:22:23,989 --> 00:22:26,150
(bel bantingan)
(in French)

403
00:22:26,150 --> 00:22:28,820
I was a solo dancer for cancan

404
00:22:28,820 --> 00:22:31,983
and I do this work for four people
years at Moulin Rouge,

405
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:37,160
but then the girl who did that
shows a snake left and asks me

406
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,323
if I don't want to try it,
might take action.

407
00:22:43,448 --> 00:22:47,281
(dramatic instrumental music)

408
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:08,461
It's weird to jump in
pool full of snakes,

409
00:23:08,461 --> 00:23:11,800
but in front of an
audience with all rhinestone

410
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,950
and light, you tend to forget the risks

411
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,813
even though it's not dangerous.

412
00:23:20,974 --> 00:23:24,807
(dramatic instrumental music)

413
00:23:37,850 --> 00:23:40,193
Sounds funny, but they know me.

414
00:23:41,129 --> 00:23:43,700
There are some snakes
it becomes very calm

415
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:44,800
when I work with them.

416
00:23:46,370 --> 00:23:49,304
If I'm not there, because
vacation, for example,

417
00:23:49,304 --> 00:23:52,033
they are much busier and nervous.

418
00:23:56,198 --> 00:23:58,810
There are 15 total snakes

419
00:24:00,310 --> 00:24:02,563
and they change for evening events.

420
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:05,573
It's like rotation.

421
00:24:07,820 --> 00:24:09,549
Some are very fun and you build

422
00:24:09,549 --> 00:24:11,333
establish a relationship with them.

423
00:24:14,328 --> 00:24:18,578
(the audience cheers and claps)

424
00:24:25,740 --> 00:24:28,690
When I jump, they are already in the pool,

425
00:24:28,690 --> 00:24:32,080
but when the pool closes me
bring them out of the water

426
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,340
and give to animal officers.

427
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:35,810
They can't stay in water

428
00:24:35,810 --> 00:24:37,630
all the time and I can't.

429
00:24:39,872 --> 00:24:43,622
(chatting staff in French)

430
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,170
- [Translator] Everything is fine?

431
00:24:50,170 --> 00:24:51,980
- [Translator] Yes, what about you?

432
00:24:51,980 --> 00:24:53,630
- [Translator] Everything is fine.

433
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:56,867
- [Translator] Understood?

434
00:24:56,867 --> 00:24:58,450
- [Translator] Yes.

435
00:25:19,550 --> 00:25:20,520
- [Translator] Animals can feel

436
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,533


437
00:25:26,210 --> 00:25:28,150
You are afraid to be better not.

438
00:25:28,150 --> 00:25:31,240
- [Translator] Everything
is perfectly organized.

439
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,480
Animal handling arrived
shortly before the show began,

440
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,490
bring animals in,
and take them again.

441
00:25:35,490 --> 00:25:38,645
Snakes are treated like stars.

442
00:25:38,645 --> 00:25:40,987
I can imagine that they
talk to each other

443
00:25:40,987 --> 00:25:43,520
if there are still several vacancies.

444
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,715
There must be auditions for their
, such as for the dancers.

445
00:25:46,715 --> 00:25:49,382
(cabaret music)

446
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:13,113
- [Translator] When I worked as a dancer,

447
00:26:13,113 --> 00:26:16,173
we have two big horses on the stage.

448
00:26:17,290 --> 00:26:19,893
Today is six, but they are small horses.

449
00:26:24,530 --> 00:26:27,783
They have space here
before and after their performances.

450
00:26:34,110 --> 00:26:35,351
I believe they recognize us.

451
00:26:35,351 --> 00:26:38,001
I'm not sure, because I never asked them,

452
00:26:38,001 --> 00:26:40,333
but every night we
greet each other.

453
00:26:59,047 --> 00:27:02,589
(rustling dress)

454
00:27:02,589 --> 00:27:05,740
- [Narrator] Time to change, costume,

455
00:27:05,740 --> 00:27:07,200
program, the music.

456
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,640
Everything evolved
over the past few decades,

457
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,493
but still there are
always a little nostalgic

458
00:27:12,493 --> 00:27:16,550
inside the Moulin Rouge,
around the stage.

459
00:27:16,550 --> 00:27:19,455
Back there is also room
which is roughly

460
00:27:19,455 --> 00:27:24,455
1000 costumes hand sewn for
all shows are stored.

461
00:27:24,820 --> 00:27:29,223
This is a colorful environment
fur, rhinestone and sequins.

462
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,673
- [Translator] How are you?

463
00:27:33,673 --> 00:27:34,700
- [Translator] Good, thank you.

464
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:36,590
- [Translator] Nice to see you
again, do you carry photos?

465
00:27:36,590 --> 00:27:38,060
- [Translator] Yes, photos from the back

466
00:27:38,060 --> 00:27:39,720
when I started working here.

467
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,042
This was from the beginning of my beginning in 1965.

468
00:27:43,042 --> 00:27:43,990
- [Translator] Frenizille.

469
00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:45,600
- [Translator] Do you really remember that?

470
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,530
I can't remember all names.

471
00:27:47,530 --> 00:27:49,188
- [Translator] I'm sure that's
Frenizille, when is this?

472
00:27:49,188 --> 00:27:51,670
Do you remember the choreography?

473
00:27:51,670 --> 00:27:53,340
- [Translator] Sure, the small one.

474
00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:54,290
- [Translator] Diagonal.

475
00:27:54,290 --> 00:27:55,475
- [Translator] We have to tilt our heads,

476
00:27:55,475 --> 00:27:58,842
but it's very difficult
because we have our hats

477
00:27:58,842 --> 00:28:01,840
and we can't really
do it because of the hat

478
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,053
very heavy and often falls.

479
00:28:06,461 --> 00:28:08,203
- [Translator] I like this one.

480
00:28:09,190 --> 00:28:12,500
Do you remember
training for this one?

481
00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:15,470
- [Translator] Do you
see where my feet go?

482
00:28:15,470 --> 00:28:17,403
- [Translator] Yes
that every night, right?

483
00:28:18,350 --> 00:28:19,390
- [Translator] Goodbye.

484
00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:21,270
- [Translator] Very good
to see you, be careful.

485
00:28:21,270 --> 00:28:22,510
- [Translator] Goodbye.

486
00:28:22,510 --> 00:28:23,673
- [Translator] See you later.

487
00:28:26,010 --> 00:28:28,434
- [Translator] Then I switched
for costume work.

488
00:28:28,434 --> 00:28:30,079
This is something very different,

489
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:33,670
but I can stay in the same environment.

490
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:35,150
- [Translator] And this is the premiere?

491
00:28:35,150 --> 00:28:37,123
- [Translator] Yes, in 1965.

492
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,153
Great.

493
00:28:44,490 --> 00:28:45,693
That is my first appearance.

494
00:28:47,345 --> 00:28:49,520
- [Translator] What a beautiful hairdo.

495
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,726
- [Translator] I have to be careful

496
00:28:50,726 --> 00:28:53,150
because it can tear my hair.

497
00:28:53,150 --> 00:28:54,090
- [Translator] Really?

498
00:28:54,090 --> 00:28:56,166
- [Translator] That's enough
weight and because there is a wire

499
00:28:56,166 --> 00:28:57,943
behind me losing a lot of hair

500
00:28:57,943 --> 00:29:00,523
in the middle and back of my head.

501
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,000
- [Translator] Because the hair is shifting?

502
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,400
- [Translator] Right, they hold it together.

503
00:29:06,620 --> 00:29:09,571
- [Translator] But I'm sure
is quite impressive.

504
00:29:09,571 --> 00:29:12,050
And look at that face, oh la la!

505
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:14,100
It's still the same picture.

506
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:17,000
- [Translator] Yes, by
Toulouse-Lautrec, it's still there.

507
00:29:17,876 --> 00:29:21,543
(optimistic instrumental music)

508
00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:37,520
- [Translator] Great memories, right?

509
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,450
- [Translator] Yes, I bring them
for you to see.

510
00:29:39,450 --> 00:29:41,710
- [Translator] All cancan can change.

511
00:29:41,710 --> 00:29:43,260
You work here for 50 years.

512
00:29:43,260 --> 00:29:45,540
You are a true celebrity
in Moulin Rouge,

513
00:29:45,540 --> 00:29:46,950
everyone knows you.

514
00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:50,890
- [Translator] It's been 50
years, but not 50 years on stage,

515
00:29:50,890 --> 00:29:53,840
but I work on the stage as long as possible.

516
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,684
- [Translator] Every night.

517
00:29:54,684 --> 00:29:56,916
What was the atmosphere at that time?

518
00:29:56,916 --> 00:29:59,193
- [Translator] That's amazing, extraordinary.

519
00:30:00,580 --> 00:30:02,710
I remember tangos strings.

520
00:30:02,710 --> 00:30:05,110
When I started working in 1965,

521
00:30:05,110 --> 00:30:08,220
there are these costumes
called la neige.

522
00:30:08,220 --> 00:30:09,405
We wear underpants,

523
00:30:09,405 --> 00:30:12,720
but if we move a lot and
swing our feet in the air

524
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,230
at the beginning
shows, pants are somehow

525
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:17,573
slipping between our ass cheeks.

526
00:30:19,510 --> 00:30:22,824
So I told Ouineverge who
still works with costumes,

527
00:30:22,824 --> 00:30:26,340
hear, why don't you
attach the string there

528
00:30:26,340 --> 00:30:28,740
and that will make everything much easier?

529
00:30:28,740 --> 00:30:31,853
He did it and that's how it is today.

530
00:30:35,060 --> 00:30:36,810
We often party there,

531
00:30:36,810 --> 00:30:38,830
but it's banned today.

532
00:30:38,830 --> 00:30:40,473
- [Translator] Yes, right.

533
00:30:41,350 --> 00:30:43,120
- [Translator] We celebrate it
all birthdays.

534
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,093
There are always cakes and champagne.

535
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,420
- [Translator] That
according to my taste.

536
00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:51,720
- [Translator] You only have
the present cake and a bottle of water.

537
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:52,742
- [Translator] Water, that's right.

538
00:30:52,742 --> 00:30:54,083
- [Translator] It's sad.

539
00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:59,380
Sometimes I am a bad girl.

540
00:30:59,380 --> 00:31:01,930
Birthday parties are extraordinary.

541
00:31:01,930 --> 00:31:04,453
I invite them all and they come.

542
00:31:06,130 --> 00:31:07,853
I will watch the show tonight.

543
00:31:10,570 --> 00:31:13,880
- [Translator] We will give the best
and lift our feet up high.

544
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,083
Lift our legs.

545
00:31:17,150 --> 00:31:19,450
- [Translator] No, I'm not dancing anymore,

546
00:31:19,450 --> 00:31:21,566
only when I'm on vacation.

547
00:31:21,566 --> 00:31:22,750
(laugh)

548
00:31:22,750 --> 00:31:24,795
- [Translator] That is
gold day, do you remember?

549
00:31:24,795 --> 00:31:27,468
There are so many places in Paris.

550
00:31:27,468 --> 00:31:30,135
(cabaret music)

551
00:31:40,707 --> 00:31:44,700
People go from one theater,
from one cabaret to the next.

552
00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:46,000
- [Translator] I remember
that there were girls

553
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,225
who dances on stage
at the Casino and then

554
00:31:48,225 --> 00:31:50,505
work directly in another cabaret.

555
00:31:50,505 --> 00:31:53,314
They work until five o'clock in the morning.

556
00:31:53,314 --> 00:31:55,981
(cabaret music)

557
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,486
- [Translator] We worked a lot at that time.

558
00:32:13,486 --> 00:32:18,056
The girls still do it, but we
also do a lot of appearances on TV,

559
00:32:18,056 --> 00:32:20,830
but everything changes.

560
00:32:20,830 --> 00:32:23,313
No more dancing on TV anymore.

561
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,350
We work with Carpentier and I even

562
00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:32,350
performing with
Jean Noir, do you know him?

563
00:32:34,496 --> 00:32:36,374
- [Translator] I also
think that dance

564
00:32:36,374 --> 00:32:38,363
the form has changed.

565
00:32:39,604 --> 00:32:44,593
There are more
movements and it's more complicated.

566
00:32:47,076 --> 00:32:49,743
(cabaret music)

567
00:32:54,206 --> 00:32:57,130
- [Translator] If you compare the 1970s performances

568
00:32:57,130 --> 00:33:00,620
with this one day, still
follow the same principle.

569
00:33:00,620 --> 00:33:02,693
This is still the same,

570
00:33:02,693 --> 00:33:05,650
but still different.

571
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:08,330
Rhythm, melody
has changed, movement,

572
00:33:08,330 --> 00:33:11,790
stage decoration, but it's still the same show.

573
00:33:11,790 --> 00:33:14,120
Moulin Rouge is an idol who never dies.

574
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,920
As long as there is Paris there
will become the Moulin Rouge.

575
00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:20,017
- [Translator] You work
at Moulin Rouge

576
00:33:20,017 --> 00:33:22,622
for three years without a day off.

577
00:33:22,622 --> 00:33:24,543
That's very difficult.

578
00:33:27,278 --> 00:33:28,920
- [Translator] It's not difficult for me.

579
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,143
I consider it rather normal.

580
00:33:32,660 --> 00:33:34,420
- [Translator] I can associate it.

581
00:33:34,420 --> 00:33:36,718
But seven days per week
is quite something,

582
00:33:36,718 --> 00:33:38,553
but we are used to it.

583
00:33:40,930 --> 00:33:43,730
- [Translator] But to be
honest, once you have your place

584
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:46,373
here you don't want to leave it again.

585
00:33:47,718 --> 00:33:49,850
(laugh)

586
00:33:49,850 --> 00:33:51,480
- [Translator] It's not like that today.

587
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,810
People will not be permitted
work seven days per week.

588
00:33:54,810 --> 00:33:57,293
Fortunately, there is a law for that now.

589
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,850
- I think they are following it
community style.

590
00:34:01,850 --> 00:34:05,690
People are more modern
now, there is a rhythm.

591
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:08,233
Everyone is connected to the planet.

592
00:34:08,233 --> 00:34:11,079
Before we don't have a connection
except, you know,

593
00:34:11,079 --> 00:34:11,912
on the side of the locker room.

594
00:34:11,912 --> 00:34:14,911
I know all the lives of my colleagues.

595
00:34:14,911 --> 00:34:16,940
Now it's very different.

596
00:34:16,940 --> 00:34:21,070
Everyone focuses on smartphones

597
00:34:21,070 --> 00:34:23,534
and Facebook, whatever.

598
00:34:23,534 --> 00:34:27,201
(optimistic instrumental music)

599
00:34:34,630 --> 00:34:37,530
- That's the main difference.

600
00:34:37,530 --> 00:34:41,740
Personality, the way they behave,

601
00:34:41,740 --> 00:34:44,633
exactly as usual.

602
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,110
Aspiration, that's
fear, how it works--

603
00:34:49,110 --> 00:34:54,110
That's the same, it doesn't change at all.

604
00:34:54,145 --> 00:34:57,228
(instrumental music)

605
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,970
- [Narrator] Many dream
about being on stage

606
00:35:03,970 --> 00:35:06,809
from the biggest vaudeville
theater in the world,

607
00:35:06,809 --> 00:35:10,020
but they are not alone there.

608
00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:13,093
They are only one star among many others.

609
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,940
- [Translator] Not
is as easy as everyone wants

610
00:35:21,940 --> 00:35:23,660
to be the most beautiful.

611
00:35:23,660 --> 00:35:26,809
- Beautiful and you might know that

612
00:35:26,809 --> 00:35:28,890
because, you know, you have eyes.

613
00:35:28,890 --> 00:35:30,790
You know you might have a better body

614
00:35:30,790 --> 00:35:33,260
and everything from others
people on the streets.

615
00:35:33,260 --> 00:35:36,200
- [Translator] Most
beautiful, best dancers.

616
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,760
You want to be better than others

617
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,513
and it is not easy to overcome
this every night.

618
00:35:43,210 --> 00:35:45,710
- When you come here,
you will be a part

619
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:50,710
of 70, 80 other beautiful people
so completely removed.

620
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,890
There is no point
big head about various things.

621
00:35:52,890 --> 00:35:55,040
We don't have big heads here,

622
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,223
that you leave your ego at home.

623
00:35:59,460 --> 00:36:01,240
- [Translator] Currently
troops from Moulin

624
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:02,380
Rouge is anonymous.

625
00:36:02,380 --> 00:36:04,216
The dancers with them
are called captains no

626
00:36:04,216 --> 00:36:06,265
related to the audience.

627
00:36:06,265 --> 00:36:08,961
They enter the theater
through the staff entrance

628
00:36:08,961 --> 00:36:11,283
and not allowed to enter the hall.

629
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,050
Viewers admire them when they are

630
00:36:14,050 --> 00:36:15,960
on stage and they are fully anonymous  when they are on the road again.

631
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,610
- [Translator] If I play a leading role,

632
00:36:20,620 --> 00:36:22,158
I have my own sauce
the room and someone by my side

633
00:36:22,158 --> 00:36:26,758
which helps it go
smoothly, I like that.

634
00:36:26,758 --> 00:36:31,583
You are treated like a little star

635
00:36:32,830 --> 00:36:35,250
and during the show you are a real star.

636
00:36:36,690 --> 00:36:39,673
(singing backstage)

637
00:36:43,187 --> 00:36:46,675
Actually, I sang that song once.

638
00:36:46,675 --> 00:36:49,147
(instrumental music)

639
00:36:49,147 --> 00:36:52,230
- [Translator] Nicola used to be a cancan solo dancer too.

640
00:37:12,042 --> 00:37:15,680
- [Translator] That's right, both of us.

641
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,710
- [Translator] We
appear on the joint stage.

642
00:37:17,710 --> 00:37:20,557


643
00:37:20,557 --> 00:37:22,480
- [Translator] I dance
for performances for 20 years

644
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,250
and now I continue to work as a dresser,

645
00:37:24,250 --> 00:37:26,533
so I'm still part of the event.

646
00:37:28,689 --> 00:37:33,439
(staff and dancers chattering backstage)

647
00:37:41,975 --> 00:37:44,642
(cabaret music)

648
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:04,900
They shouldn't miss their appearance

649
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:07,500
if there are costume
malfunctions at the last minute.

650
00:38:10,050 --> 00:38:11,480
- [Translator] Fortunately
there is a dresser

651
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,650
which helps us and explains everything,

652
00:38:13,650 --> 00:38:15,883
otherwise we won't be able to manage.

653
00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:19,386
- [Translator] I always
dream about being unable

654
00:38:19,386 --> 00:38:22,730
to get on stage because
my costume is not ready yet.

655
00:38:22,730 --> 00:38:25,483
That would be a nightmare if I lost my clue.

656
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:29,827
- [Translator] This is ours
task to prepare the dancers

657
00:38:29,827 --> 00:38:32,375
for their performances on stage
right in costumes

658
00:38:32,375 --> 00:38:34,023
which is meant for them.

659
00:38:35,510 --> 00:38:36,710
- [Translator] They are not responsible

660
00:38:36,710 --> 00:38:38,203
for us on time.

661
00:38:40,190 --> 00:38:42,750
- [Translator] The dresser
and the customer do a great job

662
00:38:42,750 --> 00:38:45,970
especially in the case of
costume maintenance.

663
00:38:45,970 --> 00:38:49,400
They must be treated
as they are in daily use.

664
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,273
That can't be taken for granted.

665
00:38:58,090 --> 00:38:59,420
- [Translator] To save time,

666
00:38:59,420 --> 00:39:02,093
we prepare each costume backstage.

667
00:39:04,450 --> 00:39:06,040
It takes about 40 seconds.

668
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:06,876
They need to change costumes there

669
00:39:06,876 --> 00:39:08,663
during that time period.

670
00:39:11,192 --> 00:39:13,859
(cabaret music)

671
00:39:34,630 --> 00:39:35,530
This is a routine job.

672
00:39:38,706 --> 00:39:41,789
(laughs backstage)

673
00:39:44,131 --> 00:39:46,881
But there might be a small accident.

674
00:39:48,290 --> 00:39:49,680
- [Translator] But we will find a solution.

675
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,870
I will go out, right?

676
00:39:51,870 --> 00:39:53,143
- [Translator] Many things happen.

677
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:56,670
- [Translator] Sometimes
You lose earrings

678
00:39:56,670 --> 00:39:59,370
as long as all the commotion and the
landed in the weirdest

679
00:39:59,370 --> 00:40:01,497
place or even near the office.

680
00:40:03,070 --> 00:40:07,199
- Well, the first time my rope was released

681
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:10,470
and then the second time--
(dancer laughs)

682
00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:13,470
The second time, there are like these beads

683
00:40:13,470 --> 00:40:15,720
and they are attached to us
ankles and that's loose

684
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:19,300
and I tripped them
and rather fell,

685
00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:20,760
but it's okay.

686
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,120
This won't happen tonight.

687
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,983
I will be very careful.

688
00:40:26,165 --> 00:40:27,420
- [Translator]
There have been several accidents.

689
00:40:27,420 --> 00:40:29,363
I fell on stage during the show.

690
00:40:31,170 --> 00:40:32,930
- [Translator] The heel of my shoe is cracked

691
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:35,710
so I do everything on my foot ball

692
00:40:35,710 --> 00:40:38,467
try not to show anyone.

693
00:40:38,467 --> 00:40:42,340
Finally it ends fine.
(laugh)

694
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:45,240
- [Translator] I will not
the mind is on stage

695
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:46,800
with bare feet.
(laugh)

696
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,420
- [Translator] That can be funny too,

697
00:40:48,420 --> 00:40:49,803
You only need to improvise.

698
00:40:51,495 --> 00:40:54,995
(music playing backstage)

699
00:40:58,035 --> 00:40:59,690
- [Translator] Let me put it on the shelf.

700
00:40:59,690 --> 00:41:00,913
I will be good with you.

701
00:41:04,095 --> 00:41:06,928
(in French)

702
00:41:08,510 --> 00:41:11,511
- [Translator] Jeanne, this is
is one of cancan.

703
00:41:11,511 --> 00:41:14,107
Can you change the zipper?

704
00:41:17,910 --> 00:41:19,570
- [Translator] Zippers
don't close properly

705
00:41:19,570 --> 00:41:23,500
because it is quite shabby,
therefore I exchange it

706
00:41:23,500 --> 00:41:26,530
so that it won't cause any problems in the future.

707
00:41:26,530 --> 00:41:30,380
Always better
prepared for possibilities.

708
00:41:38,350 --> 00:41:42,080
The costume must be very high quality.

709
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,860
The material must be strong

710
00:41:44,860 --> 00:41:46,993
that they don't wear out quickly.

711
00:41:48,420 --> 00:41:51,290
Two shows are enough
strain on costumes.

712
00:41:51,290 --> 00:41:54,280
If the stitches aren't solid, they might tear.

713
00:41:58,025 --> 00:42:01,108
(instrumental music)

714
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,580
- [Narrator] The Moulin Rouge doesn't like

715
00:42:17,580 --> 00:42:22,580
other workplaces, it's a dream factory that never stops.

716
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,138
Whoever wants to be part of this play comedy

717
00:42:25,138 --> 00:42:28,533
must be truly dedicated to that.

718
00:42:35,530 --> 00:42:37,960
- [Translator] At night,
we turn into princesses.

719
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,076
We appear in front of thousands of people.

720
00:42:40,076 --> 00:42:42,303
It feels almost like a dream.

721
00:42:43,406 --> 00:42:46,308
(soft vocal music)

722
00:42:46,308 --> 00:42:48,703
There are two different worlds for me.

723
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:52,513
At home, I have
everyday life as a mother,

724
00:42:53,390 --> 00:42:56,013
but everything changes when I get here.

725
00:42:57,300 --> 00:43:00,623
I focus on myself and
be a different person.

726
00:43:02,510 --> 00:43:05,600
I use make-up, it becomes this character.

727
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,473
I like it because of this heavy contrast.

728
00:43:13,310 --> 00:43:15,673
But now I have to go onstage.

729
00:43:16,873 --> 00:43:20,290
(beaded costume crackling)

730
00:43:21,710 --> 00:43:24,070
I almost never have to place my child

731
00:43:24,070 --> 00:43:27,859
sleep at night, it's difficult,

732
00:43:27,859 --> 00:43:31,883
but once a week I have
night off, on Sundays.

733
00:43:33,770 --> 00:43:35,740
- [Translator] This is
complicating life if you work

734
00:43:35,740 --> 00:43:38,550
at night and lift
a child himself.

735
00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:41,580
I was lucky because of me
Mother helped me a lot

736
00:43:41,580 --> 00:43:45,840
when my children are young and
then they get used to it.

737
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,853
They live at home or
I take it later.

738
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:52,440
- [Translator] I don't
know how they manage.

739
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,370
Being at home with a schedule like that.

740
00:43:54,370 --> 00:43:55,573
They are real fighters.

741
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,137
- [Translator] You must be present 24/7

742
00:43:58,137 --> 00:44:00,333
and you have to give up your personal life.

743
00:44:02,529 --> 00:44:05,983
- [Translator] Of course, you pay for it and so do I.

744
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,183
My dream is to have children.

745
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,860
- Forget going out at night,

746
00:44:12,860 --> 00:44:15,340
forgot to meet people at
eight o'clock at night

747
00:44:15,340 --> 00:44:18,267
to go to dinner, that doesn't happen.

748
00:44:18,267 --> 00:44:21,043
And that can be very difficult
for many young people.

749
00:44:22,180 --> 00:44:25,313
You know, boyfriend, you
won't see it.

750
00:44:28,420 --> 00:44:29,530
- [Translator] No girlfriend.

751
00:44:29,530 --> 00:44:33,284
This is my family.
(laugh)

752
00:44:33,284 --> 00:44:37,201
(Dancers chattering backstage)

753
00:44:45,404 --> 00:44:48,071
(cabaret music)

754
00:44:56,524 --> 00:44:59,191
(cabaret music)

755
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,320
- [Translator] I already want to become a dancer  when I was a kid, but it's not easy.

756
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,403
My parents oppose
and don't tell me,

757
00:45:19,970 --> 00:45:23,180
This will not happen.

758
00:45:23,180 --> 00:45:24,530


759
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:29,920
- [Translator] My parents
are fine with that.

760
00:45:31,060 --> 00:45:32,810
- [Translator] I am
scared and not told

761
00:45:32,810 --> 00:45:34,673
my parents about that.

762
00:45:35,810 --> 00:45:37,860
- [Translator] In Cuba,
culture has something

763
00:45:37,860 --> 00:45:39,980
military character, which is

764
00:45:39,980 --> 00:45:42,163
somehow related to politics.

765
00:45:43,820 --> 00:45:45,926
Although there are many dances,

766
00:45:45,926 --> 00:45:49,550
people expect from young men to be present

767
00:45:49,550 --> 00:45:53,057
military schools instead
become dancers.

768
00:45:53,057 --> 00:45:55,307
(laugh)

769
00:45:56,380 --> 00:45:59,230
- [Translator] I first appeared
on stage when I was nine years old.

770
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:01,600
- [Translator] My ballet teacher asks me,

771
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,520
do you tell your parents

772
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,777
people will see you naked on stage?

773
00:46:05,777 --> 00:46:07,760
I answer, no.

774
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,253
You are crazy, he said.

775
00:46:10,910 --> 00:46:13,150
- [Translator] My first
sisters come to see the show.

776
00:46:13,150 --> 00:46:14,756
He saw me appear for the first time

777
00:46:14,756 --> 00:46:16,860
yesterday the day after tomorrow.

778
00:46:16,860 --> 00:46:18,855
He will watch over me tomorrow
do the main part.

779
00:46:18,855 --> 00:46:21,023
He told me that he had to cry.

780
00:46:23,810 --> 00:46:25,684
- [Translator] After
shows, I go to my parents

781
00:46:25,684 --> 00:46:27,993
to see what they say about that,

782
00:46:30,925 --> 00:46:32,703
but they don't say anything.

783
00:46:34,780 --> 00:46:37,938
I am waiting for the
reaction and finally ask them,

784
00:46:37,938 --> 00:46:39,453
so you like that?

785
00:46:41,447 --> 00:46:44,773
And they say you look
for fun.

786
00:46:46,266 --> 00:46:48,883
That's it.
(laugh)

787
00:46:52,921 --> 00:46:54,918
This is the only time they say something

788
00:46:54,918 --> 00:46:57,970
about my decision to
present myself in the naked

789
00:46:57,970 --> 00:46:59,953
on the vaudeville theater stage.

790
00:47:02,626 --> 00:47:05,293
(cabaret music)

791
00:47:12,950 --> 00:47:16,420
You decide for yourself that you
present your body on stage.

792
00:47:16,420 --> 00:47:18,208
You must obey this decision

793
00:47:18,208 --> 00:47:20,543
and that's what I always try to do.

794
00:47:23,359 --> 00:47:24,990
- [Translator] It's all about costumes,

795
00:47:24,990 --> 00:47:28,300
feathers, rhinestone, sequins.

796
00:47:28,300 --> 00:47:30,980
This composition is there
to promote beauty

797
00:47:30,980 --> 00:47:34,370
from the form of women, which
our beauty as women.

798
00:47:34,370 --> 00:47:36,823
There is nothing surprising about it, I think.

799
00:47:39,860 --> 00:47:42,770
- [Translator] And everyone
naked today, right?

800
00:47:42,770 --> 00:47:45,600
- With nudity, I think it is something very prominent  in all shows, especially in Paris.

801
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,301
You have nudity, all have it.

802
00:47:47,301 --> 00:47:49,840
I think here is very classy.

803
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,240
It doesn't look sexual
or anything.

804
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:55,410
It is done in a very classy way.

805
00:47:55,410 --> 00:47:57,150
This is very good.

806
00:47:57,150 --> 00:47:58,463
- Not much
nudity for new girls.

807
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,233
I think it's a little choice later

808
00:48:03,090 --> 00:48:04,910


809
00:48:04,910 --> 00:48:06,610
once you've been here for a while.

810
00:48:08,123 --> 00:48:09,903
I don't know.

811
00:48:09,903 --> 00:48:12,250
- Hopefully everything runs smoothly
good and finally

812
00:48:12,250 --> 00:48:14,250
I will get used to doing shows

813
00:48:14,250 --> 00:48:16,093
and it will be easier, huh.

814
00:48:17,082 --> 00:48:19,749
(cabaret music)

815
00:48:34,469 --> 00:48:37,620
- Women are permitted
have their own opinions

816
00:48:37,620 --> 00:48:39,700
and must be heard.

817
00:48:39,700 --> 00:48:42,930
The rest, shows your body
wearing costume or makeup

818
00:48:42,930 --> 00:48:44,823
really nothing
anything related to that.

819
00:48:44,823 --> 00:48:47,612
That only places
values on the

820
00:48:47,612 --> 00:48:50,631
attribute  you have different

821
00:48:50,631 --> 00:48:52,723
for what other people have.

822
00:48:55,362 --> 00:48:58,029
(cabaret music)

823
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:11,983
(instrumental music)

824
00:49:28,530 --> 00:49:31,100
- [Translator] Submitting this
work is very difficult for me.

825
00:49:31,100 --> 00:49:34,460
I go to Monsieur Clericourt
's office and she says,

826
00:49:34,460 --> 00:49:37,973
OK, of course, I all cry.

827
00:49:39,350 --> 00:49:40,680
- [Translator] You missed it.

828
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,390
I will lie if I say that
it doesn't hurt to go.

829
00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:45,623
That's difficult.

830
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,000
Because I'm not really ready for that,

831
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,623
I have to face many problems.

832
00:49:55,660 --> 00:49:57,140
- This is a little different.

833
00:49:57,140 --> 00:50:00,730
They have more opportunities now to learn.

834
00:50:00,730 --> 00:50:02,290
- Moulin Rouge gives us this opportunity

835
00:50:02,290 --> 00:50:04,890
to learn if we want
to do something else.

836
00:50:04,890 --> 00:50:07,930
And everyone uses it or not.

837
00:50:07,930 --> 00:50:09,460
It depends on people.

838
00:50:09,460 --> 00:50:12,250
- Which of my generation
is rather jealous,

839
00:50:12,250 --> 00:50:13,550
can we say, because they have

840
00:50:13,550 --> 00:50:15,300
to solve all this yourself.

841
00:50:15,300 --> 00:50:16,960
Now, we really help.

842
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,767
- I really like it, I
have learned and I know

843
00:50:18,767 --> 00:50:20,903
what will I do after Moulin Rouge.

844
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:23,890
- [Translator] My goal
is to keep working

845
00:50:23,890 --> 00:50:25,510
in the show business and I want to graduate

846
00:50:25,510 --> 00:50:27,910
on all the experiences I got here

847
00:50:27,910 --> 00:50:30,093
for years for other dancers.

848
00:50:32,370 --> 00:50:35,220
- [Translator] I am a little
doubtful about that.

849
00:50:35,220 --> 00:50:38,060
I keep asking myself this question,

850
00:50:38,060 --> 00:50:39,803
but I haven't found the answer.

851
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:43,930
- [Translator] Life goes on.

852
00:50:43,930 --> 00:50:46,630
You are not always on the same track.

853
00:50:46,630 --> 00:50:49,540
It is very important to keep you
head and not lose you

854
00:50:49,540 --> 00:50:51,433
courage just because you're not part

855
00:50:51,433 --> 00:50:53,660
Vaudeville life again.

856
00:50:53,660 --> 00:50:58,330
That might be a dream, but you
can't always live in a dream.

857
00:50:58,330 --> 00:51:01,093
Although dreaming can be very magical.

858
00:51:03,230 --> 00:51:04,620
- What a great thing we live now,

859
00:51:04,620 --> 00:51:07,120
but we all understand that it will happen

860
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,590
finished not too far away, you know--

861
00:51:11,590 --> 00:51:13,800
- [Translator] You cannot play back time.

862
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,223
You are not always 20 years old.
(laugh)

863
00:51:19,090 --> 00:51:20,163
Only once a year.

864
00:51:23,832 --> 00:51:26,160
(cabaret music)

865
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,060
- [Narrator] Ladies and
Gentlemen, the wheel of life

866
00:51:29,060 --> 00:51:32,513
keep spinning like
red windmill wings,

867
00:51:33,900 --> 00:51:36,520
but the Moulin Rouge still exists.

868
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,228
It's tempting, entertaining, and stunning,

869
00:51:40,228 --> 00:51:44,460
as has been done for more than 125 years now

870
00:51:44,460 --> 00:51:47,530
and probably will do it longer.

871
00:51:47,530 --> 00:51:51,447
