Selected Shorts

 

Céline Douaire

The Emancipation Proclamation:

"Show your buttocks or the French Cancan 🍑 Some think that the French Cancan is a dance performed for the pleasure of men… It would be to deny the very philosophy of the Cancan, an extraordinary means of female emancipation! In the 19th century, women were not allowed to go to a ball alone, and even less to dance alone. I let you imagine how the Cancan could be a symbol of freedom for women: finally they lead the dance! They taunt the patriarchy! The "cathedral" challenges the Church, the "machine gun" the army ... I have been on stage for 3 years and dust. And it's a real honor to be inspired by these women and to put some Cancan movements in my burlesque number! On stage, I take full possession of my body. It's me who shows my butt to the public, it's my choice! A committed, feminist and so liberating choice. On stage, I am not ashamed, I offer my vulnerability to the world, I am free & powerful! To show yourself in the eyes of the world seems infeasible to you? Is the swimsuit ordeal already painful for you?" (Translation by Google)

"Montrer ses fesses ou le French Cancan 🍑

Certains pensent que le French Cancan est une danse réalisée pour le plaisir des hommes… Ce serait nier la philosophie même du Cancan, extraordinaire moyen d'émancipation féminine !

Au XIXe siècle, les femmes n'avaient pas le droit d'aller seules au bal et encore moins de danser seules. Je vous laisse imaginer comme le Cancan pouvait être un symbole de liberté pour les femmes : enfin elles mènent la danse ! Elles narguent le patriarcat ! La "cathédrale" défie l'Église, la "mitraillette" l'armée…

Je m'effeuille sur scène depuis 3 ans et des poussières. Et c'est un véritable honneur de m'inspirer de ces femmes et de mettre dans mon numéro de burlesque quelques mouvements de Cancan !

Sur scène, je reprends complètement possession de mon corps. C'est moi qui montre mes fesses au public, c'est mon choix ! Un choix engagé, féministe et tellement libérateur. Sur scène, je n'ai pas honte, j'offre ma vulnérabilité au monde, je suis libre & puissante !

Vous montrer ainsi aux yeux du monde vous semble infaisable ? L'épreuve du maillot de bain est déjà une souffrance pour vous ?"

Le Flatline


2010 год. Выпускной. Канкан.

 


 I'm not sure exactly what's going on here except that it seems to be a very entertaining free form, design-your-own-costume cancan at a Russian party.  From 2010, so only 480p.

"Walk of Shame" (Battle Cancan!)

And now for something COMPLETELY different...

In an..."interesting" short film, dancer Andree Gine is a dancer running late for a rehearsal, who is accosted (and then insulted) by a young lout in the parking garage. Luckily, Gine remembers all the military references of the cancan, and promptly (as well as literally!) kicks his butt.
