"The best live cabaret I know", Sunday Times
The Crazy Horse will make you discover "the art of the nude", and, enjoy an exceptional moment of beauty and sensuality. At The CRAZY HORSE PARIS, close to the Champs Elysees, the legendary Cabaret celebrates the Woman in a wonderful instant of estheticism and fantasy. In French the phrase L'ART DU NU - the art of the nude - is synonymous with an elegant saloon on a beautiful street in the stylish Eighth Arrondissement of Paris. It is the world famous Crazy Horse, which has been unsurpassed for half a century as a radical innovation that exalts the female form as both artistic expression and entertainment. More than five million people have watched the Crazy Horse show in its beautifully appointed theatre on the Avenue George V, two blocks from the Alma Square. Since its founding by Alain Bernadin, it has evolved through three distinct phases.
THIS TOUR WILL NOT BE CONDUCTED ON DECEMBER 24TH AND 31ST

The Early Days (1951-1960)
The Crazy Horse was founded in 1951 by Alain Bernadin, an amateur artist and full-time antiques dealer who had long been fascinated by two seemingly disparate notions - the American Western movie genre with its mythological saloons and historic legends, and the beauty of the female form. His first show was on May 19, 1951, in the basement of a small building on the avenue George V, near place de l'Alma. It represented his attempt to break away from the post war fashion strictures of the Left

Bank and the St. Germain des Prés. Although intrigued by the <> nude shows being staged by Boris Vian, Bernadin wanted to create something more striking than the traditional American striptease and yet acceptable to a wide audience. He played with light and color projected on a single girl without choreography. He experimented with strobe-like effects and other innovations. Some of his dancers became legends in their own right, and even today there are fond memories of Doda d'Hambourg and Rita Renoir. Pierre Restany Milan, Sept 1996
