And man could she dance! Back in the 70s she did a show from the Moulin Rouge in Paris where she danced, spoke and sang her way across the stage introducing 6 foot female dancers around her, towering over her. I watched it with my mother and we were both enthralled.

Impossible d'évoquer le cancan sans parler du film de Renoir : "French Cancan" sort sur les écrans en 1954 pour raconter l'aventure du Moulin Rouge ! Un chef d'oeuvre intemporel !

Dear Friends of my hopeless efforts to become a #bot, 🫠
I believe I am getting there. My first #effort is trying to #host a #web #page, where I can pretend I am #generated by Artificial Insurrection (AI).
My new server is slowly filling up with half understood and then abandoned #efforts. I have (so far):
- been leaning against my stupidity and #learning to follow #instructions, no matter how long-winded
- starting to make inroads into #RSS, old style commando line/terminal efforts
- followed the smart set (wherever #available)
- adopted a new motto, "Yes #youse #Can-can"
Anyway, back to the Grinder stone ... -:ablobcatbongokeyboard: -
"Le Chahut," Georges Seurat, 1889/90.
I've said it before, I'll say it again...I'm not a big fan of Seurat overall. His technique is dazzling, I'll admit. But his figures are stiff and often unconvincing. That being said...it works here, after a fashion.
"Le Chahut" means "the noise" or "the uproar" and is another name for what is commonly known as the can-can. While the pointillist technique works here in an artistic sense, the overall figures look fake, unless one regards this from a graphic-design viewpoint. I don't know if it was intended for that, but I see this and think, "Advertising art." Exquisite ad art, to be sure, but I can see it being used as a poster for a nightclub.
When Seurat tried to be naturalistic, as he did in his famous "Sunday" painting, I feel he falls a bit short, but here his artificial handling of figures works as graphic design.
From the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, the Netherlands.

Musical Interlude: OK, this music is ultra-famous. Some folks know it's from an opera, Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld." Few know it's an achingly funny comic opera that spoofs Greek mythology, and the romanticized tales of love therein. I saw a production a few years back that also played it as a satire of modern media culture, which actually works...there's a character called Public Opinion that scolds an unhappy couple for not staying together, which was played as a cable news reporter and her crew.
In this scene, the gods of Olympus are assembled in Hades for a party, and are entertained by an array of infernal spirits.
Anyway, as originally intended, here's the famous can-can from Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld," performed by the Opera de Lyon.

No-one really knows the origins of the can-can, but one likely explanation is that it evolved from the quadrille, a social dance for four couples (which is, incedentally, an English dance).

Interessant: Autos haben mitunter Probleme mit dem Bus. Mein Rad hat keinen Bus. Aber es hängt manchmal vorne an einem dran. Oder hinten. Wenn die Busse Räder mitnehmen.
