But our show is everything Baz did not tell you about Moulin Rouge.<\/p>\n<p>We will introduce you to the real Toulouse-Lautrec who used to frequent the Moulin Rouge and drink and watch the dancers there. We&#8217;ll show you his paintings and explain the influence of his works on the beginnings of poster art and advertising in the late 1800&#8217;s. We&#8217;ll tell you about some of these young women dancers and their life choices. Many bohemians drank to forget the squalor of their lives, and we&#8217;ll give you a taste of absinthe, the &#8220;green fairy&#8221;. (The infamous green liquor destroyed so many lives that most European governments of the time had to outlaw it). And most of all, we will dance for you the real French Cancan to Jacques Offenbach&#8217;s original music.<\/p>\n<p>Many &#8220;cultural facts&#8221; are incorporated into this script. For instance, &#8220;la vache enrag\u00e9e&#8221; (the &#8220;enraged cow&#8221;) that the students toast in scene 4 is an expression referring to not eating enough because you&#8217;re poor. It is also the title of a famous satirical magazine of the Belle Epoque. In scene 7, the girls&#8217; conversation about absinthe is modeled on descriptions made by Dumas, Oscar Wilde, and others who wrote about the &#8220;great collective binge&#8221;, as the absinthe epidemic was called. By the same token, some characters do not speak with impeccable grammar only to demonstrate their lack of education. Some characters are fictitious, only invented to give a voice to some of those themes and interact with those who did exist, namely: Toulouse-Lautrec, Zidler, Aristide Bruant, Yvette Guilbert, Jane Avril, La Goulue and a few of the dancers.<\/p>\n<p>As to the paintings of Toulouse-Lautrec, they are presented in the &#8220;cultural&#8221; slide shows that dot the play. Please refer to the photo Gallery to see how we tried to replicate some of Toulouse-Lautrec&#8217;s paintings through the use of costumes and props. In the slide show, a picture of the real subject follows the picture of our actor.<\/p>\n<p>Now prepare yourselves for a journey into the bohemian world of Montmartre, where the wretched and the pleasure-seekers meet.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the Red Wind Mill.
