Bergere Chrysis Folie Folies Nightlife Soir Cabaret
EDITORS COMMENTS
Un Soir de Folie" at the legendary Folies Bergère cabaret in Paris, 1925, was a spectacular jazz age spectacle that left audiences breathless with its dazzling performances and scandalous surprises. Among the many captivating acts was the enigmatic Chrysis, a vaudeville sensation known for her mesmerizing stage presence and sultry allure. In this iconic photograph, Chrysis is depicted in the scene "Des Ceintures de Chastete," or "Belts of Chastity," a playful and provocative number that showcased her grace, agility, and sensuality. Dressed in a daringly low-cut costume, adorned with feathers and beads, Chrysis exudes an air of mystery and seduction as she gracefully twirls and gyrates, her eyes locked with the audience. The Folies Bergère, a historic Parisian music hall that had been entertaining audiences since the late 1800s, was the epitome of 1920s nightlife, a place where the decadence and glamour of the jazz age came to life. "Un Soir de Folie" was a groundbreaking revue that pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable on stage, and Chrysis was one of its most beloved and intriguing performers. This photograph captures a moment in time, a glimpse into the past, when Paris was the center of the jazz age universe and the Folies Bergère was the place to be for a night of unforgettable entertainment. Chrysis, with her enigmatic smile and captivating stage presence, embodies the spirit of the era, a time of freedom, creativity, and self-expression that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
