Violet Chachki, a true icon of the international drag scene, set Crazy Horse Paris ablaze with her 10 exclusive performances from June 24 to 28, drawing fans from around the world.

Acclaimed by both the public and the press – Le Parisien describes Violet Chachki's performances as "an incredible moment... that electrified the audience" – Violet performed alongside Crazy Horse Paris dancers as well as alone in solos. Among her acts: a burlesque striptease, an adaptation of the famous "Attitude" tableau alongside artist Johny Boy, as well as "Scanner," "Lay Laser Lay," and "You Turn Me On."

These challenging acts were brilliantly executed and greeted with standing ovations from the audience. 

The custom-tailored costumes were made by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Coperni, Disco Daddy, and Christian Louboutin, the jewelry created by Alan Crocetti, and enhanced by lighting effects especially designed for the exclusive shows.

This unique event adds a new chapter to the history of artistic collaborations at Crazy Horse Paris, following in the footsteps of legends such as Dita Von Teese, Pamela Anderson, Viktoria Modesta, and Lisa of BlackPink.

Crazy Horse Paris, à cabaret in perpetual movement, continues to innovate and surprise.

Crazy Horse Paris is honored to be the subject of Alaïa’s first Dialogue, a new series of artistic and cultural projects directed by its Creative Director Pieter Mulier.

In 1979 Azzedine Alaïa created stage costumes for the dancers of Crazy Horse Paris. Outfits that were made to be quickly put on and taken off, as the constraints of the show require. It is at Crazy Horse Paris that Azzedine also learned and understood the woman’s body. And how to amplify its beauty.

In the courtyard of the Alaïa premises in Paris, stands “The Breast” molded on a Crazy Horse Paris dancer by César, a close friend to Azzedine and Crazy Horse Paris. 

It was the synchronicity of these things that made Crazy Horse Paris an evident choice for Pieter Mulier. 

Sam Rock photographed, on its stage and in its backstage area, eleven of its dancers: Nini Pompei, Sake Spotlight, Echo Paradox, Frida Whirlwind, Sassy à la Mode, Prima Analytic, Aqua Marine, Zitta Zurbaghan, Pixelle Canon, Margaux Lachapelle, Yuzu Azenor. 

Through Sam’s lens, the eleven dancers lined up, in their eleven dresses of eleven different colors, make up for an almost cinematographic moment. Somewhere between reality and fiction. A dream, maybe. The row of colors creates a rhythm, a musicality, a movement. 

Because Alaïa, as Crazy Horse Paris, is, above all, a house in motion.

This limited edition includes three must-have items: Crazy Rouge Lipstick, Inky Météor Mascara and Ruby Chromatic Nail Polish.

Magnetic eyes, an iconic, powerful red mouth and a bold, glamorous manicure are all symbols of Crazy Horse Paris, both on and off stage.

Today, the mythical Parisian cabaret is once again creating a surprise by inviting Violet Chachki, the most glamorous of alldrag queens, to perform on its iconic stage for 10 exclusive shows from June 24 to 28, 2024.

After the queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese, the bionic showgirl Viktoria Modesta, the K-Pop icon Lisa of Blackpink, it is the turn of Violet Chachki, a legendary figure of the drag community, to slip amongst the famous Crazy Girls, for a series of exceptional shows.

Violet Chachki is a versatile artist and performer from the southern United States. Famous for winning the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race, she was propelled to the rank of superstar of the international drag scene. Renowned for her confidence, impeccable fashion sense and acrobatic and dancing skills, Violet Chachki will be the very first male bodied showgirl to perform the most iconic acts of the show "Totally Crazy", such as Attitude, Lay Laser Lay, Scanner or You Turn Me On, inevitably adding her personal and unique touch.

"Performing on the Crazy Horse Paris stage is a dream come true. By stepping into the shoes of a Crazy Girl, I want to celebrate the essence of the divine feminine and pay homage in my own way to this place and to these incredible dancers, who have deeply inspired me since I first I attended a Crazy show nine years ago" explains Violet Chachki.     

With this new project, the innovative creative direction of Crazy Horse Paris, which since 2006 has restored the Parisian cabaret to its former glory, defies conventions and blurs the boundaries between genres, demonstrating that performance, elegance, and art have no limits. By welcoming Violet Chachki to its prestigious stage, the cabaret celebrates unity in diversity.

"Ever since I first met Violet Chachki in 2015, I knew I was going to invite her to be a Guest Star. I am proud that today this project is finally coming to fruition. The performances of Violet Chachki, a symbol of another type of femininity, will amplify the free expression of sensuality and femininity, which we stage every day at Crazy Horse Paris," adds Andrée Deissenberg, Chief Creative and Brand Officer.   

​Tickets to the exclusive performances are on sale here !

Lisa, international K-Pop star and member of the iconic group Blackpink, will perform in the show "Totally Crazy" for five exclusive performances on September 28, 29 and 30.

Known for her captivating performances, Lisa, rapper, singer and dancer, fascinates generations the world over.

A long-time fan of Crazy Horse and its unique style, she will transform into a Crazy Girl and be part of the show as a "Crazy Girl" herself.

Throughout the show, Lisa will blend in with the cast of dancers to appear in group numbers and perform several solo acts, including the iconic "But I am a Good Girl" and "Crisis? What Crisis !?!".

To complete her "Crazy Girl" transformation, Lisa will wear the show's usual costumes, while adding a personal touch.

17 years ago, Dita Von Teese, followed by other inspiring female artists, was the first Guest Star, for whom specific numbers were created.

This time, the perspective is reversed, as Lisa performs original numbers from the cabaret’s repertoire alongside the cast of "Crazy Girls".

Legendary Crazy Horse Paris is showcasing their sweeter side this summer with a collaboration that turns up the heat on a refreshing cool drink! To add a touch of dazzle and pizzazz to hot summer days and nights, Paris’ most renowned cabaret, Crazy Horse Paris, and the exclusive Domaine de la Périnade winery have teamed up to create a unique rosé collection. 

The limited-edition will be available exclusively from May 1 to September 30, 2023 and can be purchased one bottle at a time or the entire colorful “cast” of six all at once, at Crazy Horse Paris’ boutique. It can also be enjoyed during the show, where the wine will titillate the guests’  tastebuds and awaken their senses as they plunge into the stunning universe of the show Totally Crazy!.

An exceptional vintage demands an exceptional bottle! The Crazy Horse Paris x La Périnade bottles come in six bright and zesty colors, featuring the iconic wigs worn by the dancers, which the cabaret has been famous for over 70 years.

The 2022 vintage rosé is 100% Grenache Noir. Thanks to the sandy soil of the Domaine de Perinade, the wine has a complex yet elegant character. Its tint is pale, clear and crystalline with hints of blue, and channels the aromas of white peach, pomegranate, and citrus with hints of licorice and pepper.  Crisp yet velvety, the finish is smooth and fruity.

“This collaboration with the Domaine de La Périnade is a true love story. Here at Crazy Horse Paris, we love to discover new talent… you might say we have a nose for beautiful and extraordinary stories!” explains Andrée Deissenberg, Chief Creative and Brand Officer at Crazy Horse Paris.  

“We are proud of our Crazy Horse Paris x La Périnade vintage: it’s the labor of love, that started as a dream.  With Crazy Horse Paris, we share a passion for quality, an attention to detail and of course, a touch of Crazy’ness!

The adventure began by selecting specific vines within our Grenache Noir vineyards, that were chosen based on the quality of the soil and the grapes.

We harvested at peak ripeness and followed an extremely demanding blending process under the supervision of our oenologist, and with the participation of several sommeliers that are friends of the Domaine. As a result, we created a beautiful vintage that best represents what we at the Domaine de la Périnade live to create.” adds Stéphane Arnal, owner of the Domaine de la Périnade.

Crazy Collection

To indulge in the pleasure of the senses, the rosé from the collaboration between these two ambassadors of the French “art the vivre” will be on available as part of the special “Crazy Collection” offer, that includes tickets to the show and a bottle of rosé for two.

A range of Crazy merchandise featuring the wigs’ design and bright colors will be on sale at the cabaret’s boutique.

Lastly, to celebrate the launch of the Crazy Horse Paris x Domaine de la Périnade limited-edition rosé, an Instagram filter will give everyone a chance to try on the iconic wigs, for a Totally Crazy look, making it the first cabaret in the world to have an Instagram filter.

75cl bottle : €25, can be purchased at Crazy Horse Paris’ boutique.

Domaine de La Périnade

The Domaine de la Périnade was founded in 1830s.  Located next to Carcassonne between the Canal du Midi and the Fresquel river, the 50-hectare domain covers 17 hectares of vineyards.  Currently owned and operated by the 6th generation of the Arnal family, the focus on the Domaine de la Périnade has shifted to two key values: quality and the environment.

Quality: Almost everything has changed, from harvest size and method to the creation of a private cellar and arrival of a talented oenologist, Mr. Claude Serra.  Only 20-30,000 bottles are produced a year. They are the result of a rigorous and uncompromising selection process from the vine through to the blending process.

Environment: The domain was transitioned to High Environmental Value (Haute Valeur Environnementale, HVE) standards to ensure that operations are as environmentally friendly as possible.  The Domain has been officially HVE certified since 2021.
With these innovations, the Domaine produces exceptional vintages that showcase its unique terroir. A number of loyal prestigious clients have become the Domaine’s best ambassadors, from Crazy Horse Paris to Pouliche, the Café de Luce by Amandine Chaignot, Akrame Benallal and the famous Maison Lucas Carton.

The trendsetting and decidedly inventive French lingerie brand LIVY and the internationally renowned and emblematic Parisian cabaret, Crazy Horse Paris, have come together on a joint artistic venture to produce a collection of fine and sensual lingerie pieces, striking and resolutely Crazy, to be worn by day and night! Crazy Horse Paris and LIVY are a match made in heaven. Both houses shake the very foundations of their traditional artistic codes, by showcasing independent and self-confident women. This collaboration came to be by merging their rich artistic legacies and visionary inventiveness. Both share the same creative drive around the female form, an endless source of inspiration, exalting its curves, playing with its lines and contrasts. Women, the undeniable muses from which both houses draw their inspiration, are the body and soul of this exclusive collection. It tells the story of a modern day heroine, free, powerful, desirable, assertive and with a keen sense of humor.

“When I created LIVY, Crazy Horse Paris and its one-of-a-kind shows were an important  source of inspiration. The celebration of a confident femininity, the way the fabric and the movements of the female body combine and how they relate, the extraordinary play of visual illusions… All elements I seek in my own creations.  Designing this collection was a dream come true. I imagined designs that could be worn by both the Crazy Girls and also by all women who want to feel independent, alive and proud.”

Lisa Chavy, founder of LIVY

A capsule collection in limited edition

This LIVY x Crazy Horse Paris capsule collection is made up of 20 limited edition pieces of lingerie and body accessories. Crafted from fine fabric such as silk and leather, the products are full of sophisticated details, inspired by various elements that both brands have in common: a color palette with black at its center, as well as red, gold and silver; precious embellishment (rhinestones, jeweled finishing touches…) and a work of contrasts.

“Showtime”, “Peek-a-Boo”, “Very Crazy”, “Attitude”, “Venus Vanity”… the lingerie sets, with catchy names, reflect their unique identity and are a nod to the spectacular universe of the Parisian cabaret from which they hail. True to the LIVY codes, with its major “signature” elements, such as the monowire and the “trompe l’oeil” effects, the designs are made with the utmost attention to detail, a unique know-how for an inimitable “Totally Crazy” end result!

“All the details of this collection evoke Crazy Horse Paris: from shoulder pads to jeweled harnesses and translucent plays of fabric, recalling the show’s light projections, to simple and understated lines and graphics. The result is both visual and audacious. I just love the idea of women being able to wear a touch of Crazy Horse Paris every day!”

The famous lingerie designer Chantal Thomass will be taking over the Crazy Horse Paris for three months in a show called Dessous Dessus of which she is the artistic director.

She has been asked to create four brand new acts, conceive the costumes and direct the show. She will also be adding her personal touch to the “classic” acts of the show’s repertoire.

The designer with the unmistakable bobbed hair, tells us in an exclusive interview how she’s about to pick up this challenge and put Crazy Horse Paris "Dessus Dessous" (upside down)!

The exclusive Chantal Thomass interview

What exactly will that special « Chantal Thomass » touch be in the new show?

I’ve always loved Crazy Horse Paris shows and I really wanted to add my own personal touch and stylistic codes to it. In other words, a bit of impertinence, very much a part of my personality and perhaps a bit different than that which Crazy Horse Paris already possesses. I also had ideas about different and surprising (laughs) acts.

I will also be asking the dancers to wear a bit more clothes than they usually do, but rest assured… they will be taking them off!

Discover the making of the show :

A new role full of challenges for the high priestess of classy lingerie

In this new role as Artistic Director for Crazy Horse Paris, what are your greatest challenges?

What’s completely new to me is… that I don’t control everything!

For example, the stage is tiny! In the beginning, I had planned on making the dancers wear 50cm high hats, but I quickly became to realize that that would be impossible.

There was also a real adjustment to be made with the costumes. We tried several things where the dancers told me right away “I won’t be able to dance with that on.” It should be noted that they really do move a lot, so it’s a real challenge dressing them.

You have to think of all the little details, just as a director would, it’s very different from a fashion show.

Behind the scenes

How are the different acts created?

The creative process begins with drawings and sketches that reflect our imagination, our ideas and what we would like to see on stage. Then there’s a very real adaptation as far as choreography is concerned. I work with a wonderful choreographer, Stéphane Jarny, and I don’t have a whole lot to say there for he knows his subject way better than I do !

There is also the influence of the different songs and music that will be a part of the show. I want the words of the songs, mostly in French, to fit to the story I want to tell and to the costumes.

What really surprised me in the beginning was that we tried many different pieces of lingerie and some of them are spectacular and you’d think they’d be the most beautiful, yet they aren’t extraordinary on stage. Inversely, pieces that we thought were less interesting turned out to be those that really stood out and even blew us away on stage! You really have to try everything to know, do fittings with the dancers, have them move and dance with the costumes on, in order to be able to imagine what it’ll look like in the end.

We’ve still got a lot of work left to do !

Glamour and rock'n'roll

How did you get your inspiration and what is it you want for your Crazy Girl costumes?

I’ve tried to tell stories, particularly in the new acts we created. But it’s up to the choreographer to adapt the story I’m trying to tell. In one of the new acts I really like, there is a swing, makes you think of Marie-Antoinette. And little by little Marie-Antoinette became a rock star !

I wanted to add some glamour and rock ‘n’ roll. I wanted to add more fantasy and more impertinence. It’s a word that’s used frequently in the world of lingerie. But I know that there’s already a lot of it at the Crazy!

A bit of "teasing"...

Can you tell us what your favorite Crazy Horse Paris act is?

I really like Leçon d’érotisme, which will be, by the way, revamped for the occasion (you’ll see!). I love the fact that the dancers get undressed. That’s incidentally what I tried to add to the show. I find it very erotic and sexy. When a dancer arrives already nude on stag, even if, of course, she’s drop-dead gorgeous, you don’t get this little extra measure of mystery. I also like the Teasing act, which I hadn’t seen for some time on Crazy Horse Paris stage… and which you’ll therefore rediscover in Dessous Dessus !

In your opinion, what is “Crazy “and what isn’t?

Crazy to me are the lights and the arched backs, absolute Crazy Horse hallmarks. What isn’t Crazy is vulgarity, inappropriate behavior and whatever lacks elegance and style. That’s the opposite of Crazy.

Andrée Deissenberg : "expect surprises!"

Andrée Deissenberg, Crazy Horse Paris General Director Creation and Development, got the idea of entrusting artistic direction of the show to Chantal Thomass and invited her to follow in the illustrious footsteps of great names of fashion and showbiz, such as Christian Louboutin, Philippe Decouflé or more recently Dita Von Teese.

Chantal Thomass at the Crazy Horse Paris… what should we expect?

Expect new acts, of course, but also a show “dressed” differently, fun and impertinent, expect a different way of presenting the Crazy woman, new visuals and surprises…

Can you give us a sneak-peek into Dessous Dessus ?

We reworked for the first time since 1989 our famous opening act God Save Our Bareskin and realized afterwards that that was perfectly inline with European current affairs… just think of Brexit (or should I say « Br’excite Me » !) … but I shan’t say any more, you’ll have to discover the rest for yourself at Crazy Horse Paris starting October 5th!
