DANCING ON THE WALLS OF PARIS

$5.40$15.00

A group of performers lead an audience through a series of moments where ideas, forms and images of the artist Toulouse Lautrec, and Paris in the 1890's connect and clash with the dynamism of contemporary art. Set in a circus, the action roughly follows Lautrec's life from birth and childhood through his development as an artist and his increasing 'insanity' until his eventual death.

EXTRACT: Step this way. Par ici! Qui, c'est .ya, par ici, Monsieur. That's right Lift your feet Get cracking. You know, sometimes I miss my days in the military when I didn't have to yell myself hoarse: every day to entertain a band of idiots who don't understand what hunger means. Look at you all Man Dieu. Born with a silver spoon in your mouths -yo1i look as if you never took yours out. Madame. This way, that's right. par ici! Approchez. Par ici, Monsieur! Silver spoons, Messieurs-dames. Like that bastard Lautrec. You know? The little fellow.
