Eiffel Follie's: burlesque cabaret revisited at the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel

A new cabaret is born at the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel! From May 3, 2025, the theater presents Eiffel Follie's, a cabaret show promising to mix glamour, humor and Franglais, while reviving the spirit of the great figures of artistic Paris.

From Saturday May 3, 2025, the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel will host a new show entitled Eiffel Follie's, imagined and directed by Valentina del Pearls. This artistic cabaret will combine dancing, singing, burlesque stripping, visual acts and humor in an atmosphere inspired by the heyday of festive Paris, from the Belle Époque to the Roaring Twenties.

Presented in "franglais", the show would be hosted by jazz singer Katie Kraw, who would also act as master of ceremonies.

Eiffel Follie's proposes a journey back in time and into the imagination of early Parisian cabarets, summoning the spirit of iconic figures such as La Goulue, Loïe Fuller, Mata Hari and Joséphine Baker. The evening would feature a variety of acts - singing, dancing, burlesque stripping - in a staging combining glamour, visual humor and theatrical aesthetics.

The visual universe promises to be rich in spectacular costumes, sequins, feathers and accessories inspired by period revues, but revisited according to the contemporary codes of the Burlesque Klub. The show seems to be aimed at an adult audience, whether a fan of burlesque cabaret, historical recreations, or simply curious about a form of entertainment that combines visual pleasure, humor and live music. Those who appreciate bilingual shows or cabaret-style atmospheres may find it light and festive.

On the other hand, spectators looking for a purely narrative show or a classical approach to theater may not recognize themselves in this stage proposal based above all on performance, aesthetics and interaction with the audience.

Eiffel Follie's would be supported by a collective of artists including: Katie Kraw, Romane Chandelier, Valentina del Pearls (also an author and director) and Vicomte Harbourg. The project promises to be in the tradition of contemporary cabarets inspired by traditional forms but reinterpreted through a neo-burlesque aesthetic. Alternating between French and English will reinforce the show's cosmopolitan spirit, reflecting the Paris of yesterday and today.
