LES VILAINES
For the length of a cabaret, the show recreates the special ambiance of a day in the life of a show-girl.
Les Vilaines is both a character and a verb in a push-up corset. It’s emotion and laughter mixed with ravishing seduction. It’s cutting and paradoxical femininity, within which we all recogni...
