Belle(s) de scène, cabaret de La Sirène à barbe x Olivier Dubois au Carreau du Temple

Created in 2026 at the Carreau du Temple

The extravagance of the Dieppe creatures of La Sirène à Barbe meets the irreverence of choreographer Olivier Dubois, to create an experimental cabaret, where contemporary dance and burlesque are boldly mixed.

In 2021, Nicolas Bellenchombre opened the doors of La Sirène à Barbe cabaret in Dieppe, bringing a breath of queer freedom to the Normandy coast. Their joyful and offbeat shows blend drag, music hall, singing, dancing, and burlesque performances in an inclusive and accessible atmosphere. In 2025, they shared their joie de vivre at the Everybody Festival.

Armed with their rhinestones, sequins, and a sharp sense of humor, they return to the Carreau du Temple to unveil a brand-new collaboration with choreographer Olivier Dubois. This major figure on the French contemporary scene, known for his magnetic and meticulously crafted choreography, intends to infuse the performance with his reflections on the political dimension of the body, which he sees as a site of engagement, tension, and resistance. From the friction of these two worlds emerges a hybrid cabaret, a laboratory for new artistic forms.

As part of the Cabaret Season launched by the Ministry of Culture from September 16 to December 18, 2026 throughout France
