The sails of the red -painted windmill on top of the Moulin Rouge, the most celebrated cabaret in Paris, started to run again and the house of the French can in its full glory more than a year after they were inelegant to the ground.
In an abundance of red feathers, members of the 90-member group of the Montmartre Institution led his characteristic dance on the road to mark the opportunity on Thursday evening, after the second of two daily versions that attract 600,000 visitors a year.
The 12-meter sailing collapsed in April last year after a mechanical failure, in which no one was injured, but caused an outing of emotion, including the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, who called the cabaret an essential part of the cultural heritage of the capital.
“The sails are always turned around at the Moulin Rouge, so we had to restore this Paris symbol to Paris, in France, and for the state it was earlier,” said Jean-Victor Clérico, the director of the Cabaret. The sails now run daily from 4 p.m. to 2 p.m.
“The whole group is very happy to find our sails again – these are the sails of Paris,” said Cyrielle, one of the 60 dancers who participated in the street celebration, which was illuminated by a specially commissioned by fireworks.
Founded in 1889, the Moulin Rouge became a worldwide symbol of end Parisian nightlife, the famous CAN-CAN dancers depicted in paintings by artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. A 2001 film from Baz Luhrmann confirmed his current attraction.
One thinks quadrille. It caused a significant scandal when it became popular for the first time as a cabaret act, mainly because of the deliberately revealing high staircases.
Performed by a line of female dancers, the dance, devised by Pierre Sandrini in the early 1920s, then artistic director of the Moulin Rouge, revolves around the “powerful manipulation of skirts and petticoats, high kicks, jumping splits and cart wheels”.
After their collapse, new aluminum sailing were ready in time for the Olympic Games in Paris last July, but it took almost a year to build a new electric motor and fit ready to turn them and the hundreds of red and golden lamps that provide the display with electricity.
