Louise: The Last Dance

Paris, 1928. A bent and squinting old woman in rags shuffles out of a caravan in a slum market. This is Louise Weber: the woman who invented the cancan, seduced princes and made the Moulin Rouge famous. Toulouse-Lautrec painted her. Journalists destroyed her. Nobody let her speak. Until now. A solo multidisciplinary performance with live dance, projection and theatre, Louise: The Last Dance reclaims the story of the most famous woman you've never heard of. Loud, queer, working class and unforgettable. She was leered at her entire life. This time, she gets to talk back.
