About
Your guide & agenda to Paris's best queer, gay and lesbian events, clubs, parties, bars, cruisings, saunas, clubbing, venues and more...
Founded in February 2022 and self-managed by four artists — Mascare, Soa de Muse, Bili Bellegarde and Grand Soir — La Bouche is a queer cabaret with multiple and complementary identities, born in a concrete basement near the Porte de Clignancourt, in Paris.
A proud heir to the queer and underground cabaret scene, the show is multidisciplinary, festive and subversive, blending piano, voice, balaclavas, LGBT archives, spoken word, neon lights, lipsync and personal narratives.
From Monique Wittig to Céline Dion or Sexy Sushi, by way of Michel Berger and Malavoi, the performances are constantly renewed according to current events, tributes and the inspirations particular to each artist; yet they all remain bound by a common essence: an imagination that is sexy, punk, pop, sincere, poetic and always political.
Cabaret La Bouche positions itself as a joyful and living archive of collective histories, driven by the need, the duty and the desire to pass on the memories of intersectional struggles and minority rights.
On stage, the artists sing and speak of yesterday and tomorrow, of lesbians, racism, queerness, social class and systemic violence; but above all, of hope and love.
With tenderness and sincerity, they invite the audience to catch their breath and reclaim their freedom. It is, in every respect, cathartic.
