Nouvelle bouteille de champagne Crazy

At Crazy Horse Paris, champagne is a must: nestled in its illuminated ice bucket, it is actually part of the décor. Over sixty thousand liters of champagne are poured every year at the cabaret.

This Parisian institution, with its refined aesthetic, has entrusted the redesign of its iconic champagne to the Ich&Kar Studio. Elegant and chic, the black smoked glass bottle is dressed in gold. The gold hot foil print catches the light and subtly echoes the cabaret’s dazzling show. The famous hot stamped gold lips are a nod to the cabaret’s façade, which was completely redesigned in 2021 for its 70th birthday. The Op Art foil capsule is a nod to the show's signature light projections.

Produced in collaboration with the Gérin & Fils Champagne House, this vintage is made from an exquisite blend of the finest Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The meticulous work that goes into producing these fine bubbles, using sustainable viticultural practices, makes for an exceptional quality champagne. It's a delicate work of fine craftmanship. The result? A refined brut that gives the drinker an infinitely delicious moment, where pleasure stretches out like a couture stocking...

 “Creation is inseparable from Crazy Horse Paris, a house in perpetual motion. As the iconic drink of the French art de vivre and, of course, of cabaret, it was important to us that our champagne reflected our values of creativity, joy and authenticity. Crazy Champagne combines visual and tasting pleasure. It creates a festive and joyful moment, from stage to flute.” explains the cabaret's management.

After Uma Wanderlust, Elvie VarsovieSanta Stiletto and Leni Panorama this summer, we are happy to introduce you to Sofia and Piper, our last two new recruits, currently in intensive training at Crazy Horse Paris.  Sofia is from Ukraine and Piper is from Australia. They dreamed of joining Crazy Horse Paris: it’s done today, give them a warm welcome!

It's a Crazy tradition: their name will be given on the night of their first public appearance. See you in a few weeks to find out!

A few words about creation


Andrée Deissenberg, General Director of Creation and Brands
: “Philippe Decouflé has a unique ability to combine dance with technology to create acts that provoke strong and unusual emotions. Every collaboration with Philippe over the last fifteen years has led us to explore previously unknown facets of Crazy Horse Paris. With 'Vertiges', we are undoubtedly getting a taste of what the future will be at Crazy Horse Paris.

Philippe Decouflé: “I love creating at Crazy Horse Paris. I love working with the intimate stage, the dancers’ talent, the House’s history and unique visual codes... and I like to challenge it all, to push against the very limits of creation and rediscover the possibilities of form. For “Vertiges”, I was able to pursue an artistic exploration of nudity and light, where each movement becomes a living work of art in perpetual transformation.”

How can you describe your experience at Crazy Horse Paris?

My 5 years here were “out-of-this-world”!  You can’t even put into words this experience or what it is like to express yourself within the Crazy Horse Paris’ environment and stage! It’s a completely different world here:  it’s so unique, touching, empowering and powerful!  My career shapes the women I am today… and for the rest of my life! As we say, “Once a Crazy Girl, always a Crazy Girl”, and I fully believe that!

What is your best memory here?

There are so many! We had some great times with the Crazy Girls backstage:  every night there are funny things happening and I met incredible friends. But probably, one of the best memories is having the opportunity to dance the act “… But I Am a Good Girl”, I will never forget the moment I found out I was on the rehearsal schedule to learn it. It’s my favorite solo and that’s why I wanted to join the cabaret!

What is the main lesson you learnt here as a dancer?

To have fun! When I first arrived, I was very nervous, it is such an iconic company! But I think, you can work hard, strive for the best and still enjoy every moment and put fun in the priority. It is why we dance; it is because we love it!

What are you going to miss the most?

I will miss the fun that we have backstage for sure! But also, working daily with some incredible and inspiring people. But most of all, I will miss dancing my favorite one “… But I Am a Good Girl”!  

What are you plans?

To keep being Crazy! I have dreams and goals I want to reach, and how I reach them it is part of the journey. I love the adventure: I would like to continue travelling the world. And I want to spend more time with my family and friends as it’s been a long time away.

To finish, I want to thank everyone, who have been a big part of this amazing journey!

“This series, captured using film cameras, is about raw dance — since it was a rehearsal, there were no costumes, just pure dance and the effort to make it perfect. The task was particularly challenging due to the lighting conditions, alternating between light to dark, making it difficult to capture the perfect shot. However, these lighting conditions also made the experience incredibly interesting and rewarding. The dynamic environment pushed me to adapt quickly and find creative solutions. This experience was one of the best of my career.”

About Daria Troitskaia : 

Italy-based photographer, Daria Troitskaia, was born in Saint Petersburg and educated in Vienna. Her passion for art was an undeniable source of inspiration from the start. After taking courses in art and photography, she moved to Malta and later to Milan. It became a turning point that transformed Daria’s passion for photography into a vocation.

Her artistic journey is defined by four integral components — continuous movement, a sense of adventure, self-challenges, and a unique perspective. Daria's photographs are never static. They always retain a sense of movement and vitality. Every picture has a story to tell. There are many such stories in Daria's photography book Maltese Exposures (2020).

Danseuse Vénus Océane By Esteban Wautier

In September 2004, you joined Crazy Horse Paris...

I remember it like it was yesterday! At first, I didn’t want to audition because I didn't know much about Crazy Horse Paris. My background was in ballet, and the conventions of cabaret seemed so different from my initial training. Then one day, when I was on a dance contract, I met a former Crazy Girl named Tally Yesterday. She told me that I met all the criteria for joining the troupe. My instinct was to give it a try...and so here I still am, 20 years later!

How have you changed over the years at Crazy Horse Paris?

The more my career advances, the freer I feel on stage. I’ve been lucky enough to get solos at the right times, and each time, I never expected it! For me, every new learning experience is revitalizing and motivating. In my daily practice, I like to try out new things for some of the numbers that I've been doing on stage for a while. With dance, there's always something new to learn! I'm still discovering new aspects of myself and appreciate that each show is a new challenge and a shared experience with the audience. These days, I’m really enjoying passing on my knowledge to new dancers and supporting them.

Can you share some of your best memories?

I have experienced so much here! I’ve been lucky to have some incredible experiences during the many trips and tours we’ve done. But for me, the best memories are those that I associate with the adrenaline rush that comes with every new show or number. I also have wonderful memories of my incredible encounters with guests… and the atmosphere backstage of course!

What are your plans for the future?

I want to share and pass on my experience. My motto: kindness!

From behind the scenes, two protagonists of this exceptional project tell us more about their experience:

Ginger Knockout, dancer : "Working on Emily in Paris was such a great experience! It was so much fun and such an honor to welcome the Emily in Paris crew into our Crazy Horse Paris home. The team was fantastic, and we got to work with Ashley Park!  She was amazing: she came in and did the choreography with us like a true professional dancer.  And of course, it’s a bit special seeing your own name pass by in the credits on Netflix!"

Psykko Tico, Deputy creative director : "To create the choreography, my ambition was to work on the interaction between the characters on stage, to make their actions easily recognizable, because I know that part of the the scenes can be easily cut in post-production. But, above all, I wanted to recreate the unique and recognizable atmosphere of Crazy Horse Paris, by relying on the gestures, the visuals, the attitude and the acting."

To perfect this number, Kyle Hanagami, choreographer of Blackpink and Jennifer Lopez, went to Crazy Horse Paris to work on this sequence with Ashley Park.
