The French Cancan was a forbidden dance when the Moulin Rouge opened.
And when Charles Zidler and Joseph Oller opened this cabaret, they recruited the best Parisian performers and offered them a fortune to join the Moulin Rouge. Thierry Outrilla, the "living legend" of the Moulin, recruited 46 years ago, tells us about this phenomenal place, its dancers, its shows...
A special thanks to Alexia Pau and Fanny Rabasse who made the Moulin Rouge interviews' series possible.
