Cabarets at Chaillot: Moulin Rouge, Crazy Horse and Madame Arthur stage a rare reunion.

Several facets of the Parisian cabaret scene come together under one roof on September 24 and 25, 2026. Chaillot – Théâtre national de la Danse hosts Cabarets, two evenings that will bring together, notably, the Moulin Rouge, the Crazy Horse Paris and Madame Arthur, alongside other alternative venues. The event sits within the Cabaret Season, initiated and supported by the Ministry of Culture.

Rather than dedicating the evening to a single venue, Chaillot offers an immersion into diverse forms of cabaret. Historic institutions rub shoulders with contemporary stages that are redefining its codes today, inviting exploration of dance and sensuality as well as humor, performance, and a range of on‑stage expressions.

The Moulin Rouge, the Crazy Horse Paris, and Madame Arthur are among the venues explicitly highlighted by Chaillot. The program also aims to carve out space for alternative stages and to showcase how a genre historically tied to Paris's nightlife and cultural life is evolving.

The setup differs from a traditional show with a single timeslot. Performances are scheduled at 6:30 p.m., 7:15 p.m., 8:00 p.m., 8:45 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th of September. The advertised duration is roughly two hours.

Chaillot notes that these evenings may feature sensuality, provocative language, and occasionally blunt expressions. The attendance of under-16s is therefore left to the discretion of the accompanying adults.

The event takes place at the Théâtre national de la Danse, on the Trocadéro square in Paris.
