Shot on black-and-white film over several years, this ongoing project looks at Crazy Horse Paris from the margins: dressing rooms, rehearsals, and the side of the stage. Rather than treating it as spectacle, the work focuses on the labor, discipline, and precision behind the performance. The series is interested in what supports the illusion of ease: repetition, waiting, preparation, and the physical and emotional work required to sustain a highly constructed form of entertainment.
