With sensual and fearlessly Latin rhythms, KAROL G captivated audiences with a magnetic solo, an intimate trio alongside Lolita Kiss-Curl and Nini Pompéi, and a final, explosive burst of color and energy with the troupe.
Each night, in a sold-out venue with tickets gone in under 24 hours, a rare and powerful chemistry unfolded between the artist and the legendary cabaret.
The artistic signature of Crazy Horse Paris merged seamlessly with the fiery and sun-drenched energy of the Latin scene and catchy hooks of KAROL G's hit tracks — “Ivonny Bonita,” “Papasito,” and “Tropicoqueta” — to create a performance that was powerful, unapologetically feminine, and irresistibly sensual.
A standing ovation crowned each performance, a vibrant tribute to this exceptional artist and the entire troupe, in a show that was as electric as it was unique and unforgettable.
This extraordinary event marks a new chapter in the ongoing legacy of artistic collaborations at Crazy Horse Paris, following in the footsteps of iconic performances by Dita Von Teese, Pamela Anderson, Lisa, from Blackpink and Violet Chachki.

A series of original, show-stopping acts specially crafted for her
A multi-platinum singer-songwriter and one of the world’s most influential performers, KAROL G will headline a series of original, show-stopping acts specially crafted for her, set to chart-topping tracks from her brand-new album, "Tropicoqueta" (released June 20, 2025). Drawing on Crazy Horse Paris’ iconic visual repertoire, the show will merge the cabaret’s storied history with the whimsical sounds of merengue, bachata, and mambo, creating a vibrant, sun-soaked celebration of sound and movement.
The artistic direction is led by Andrée Deissenberg and Arturo Rico, a multifaceted Mexican artist behind the @Ficheraz digital archive, with choreography by Danielle Polanco, the acclaimed American choreographer who has worked with Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, and most recently directed KAROL G’s music video Papasito. Together, they merge the iconic visual and choreographic DNA of Crazy Horse Paris with the fiery energy of the Latin scene.
“When I first saw the Crazy Horse Paris show, I was completely in awe and fell in love with what I saw on that stage. I’m beyond excited to step into this one-of-a-kind world myself. I want to bring that same fearless, body-positive, and confident energy to my performance—the same way I approach my music, especially on my latest album, 'Tropicoqueta.' This show is a tribute to all women, and especially to my Latinas, celebrating that we are beautiful exactly as we are, inside and out" - KAROL G.
An exclusive collaboration
Following in the footsteps of Dita Von Teese, Viktoria Modesta, Violet Chachki, and Lisa from Blackpink, KAROL G is set to leave her mark on the illustrious Guest Star legacy of Crazy Horse Paris. A trailblazer in the global music industry, she will bring her powerful, feminine, and fiercely bold aesthetic — perfectly aligned with the cabaret’s spirit.
“KAROL G is an inspiring artist — she knows exactly what she wants and how to achieve it. At the same time, she’s proud of her roots and deeply connected to her fans. She radiates true girl power, and that drew me to her instantly. Latin beats at Crazy Horse Paris are unprecedented in more than 70 years of history — but I didn’t hesitate for a second. Karol’s unique personality made it obvious: she was already Crazy at heart,” said Andrée Deissenberg, Chief Creative & Brand Officer, Crazy Horse Paris Group.
With KAROL G, Crazy Horse Paris once again pushes creative boundaries, proof that creativity knows no borders . Are you ready for a passionate ode to dance, music and freedom?

For over 70 years, Crazy Horse Paris has been a symbol of Parisian nightlife. Locals, tourists, and celebrities alike gather there to experience the quintessence of the French spirit at its freest, most quirky, glamorous, and creative. The mastermind behind this legendary venue was a visionary and iconoclastic dandy, Alain Bernardin. A colorful character with a tragic destiny, this former antique dealer, part-time painter, and lover of women and the night sought to combine aesthetics and daring, light play and curved silhouettes, turning the female body into an artistic manifesto.
Telling the story of Crazy Horse Paris is telling many stories: that of Parisian nights, of our relationship with the body and nudity, and of the evolution of social mores over the last seventy years...
It is also a story of sexual revolution, women’s emancipation, and of contemporary art, fashion, and music.
For nearly 20 years at the helm of the legendary cabaret, Andrée Deissenberg, General Manager of Creation and Brands, shares how she has breathed new life into it by placing creativity at the heart of its identity. Indeed, Crazy Horse Paris has had to constantly reinvent itself to remain relevant through every era and today must adapt to a new world shaped by a resurgence of feminism and gender issues.
This cabaret remains iconic also thanks to its collaborations with numerous artists such as Christian Louboutin, Dita Von Teese, Arielle Dombasle, Pamela Anderson, Philippe Decouflé, and Beyoncé.
“Crazy Horse, a cabaret called desire” will be broadcast on August 3rd at 10:40 PM on TV channel Arte and available on arte.tv from July 27th to November 7th, 2025.

Inside the legendary halls of Crazy Horse Paris, rehearsals are typically a private ritual—an intimate act of preparation rarely seen by anyone beyond the troupe. I had the privilege of going behind the scenes to document the journey of one of their newest recruits: Gypsy Jane.
This photo series follows Gypsy Jane through two parallel spaces: the sacred stage of Crazy Horse Paris, where she rehearses a new solo performance, and a quiet studio across town where she moves entirely for herself. No makeup. No mirrors. Just intuition, instinct, and the rhythm of her breath.
“The first time I stepped onto the Crazy Horse Paris stage, I felt a rollercoaster of emotions,” Gypsy told me.
“All the years of hard work and sacrifices I had spent on my craft had led me to that moment. I just remember trying to be as present as possible to truly soak in every second.”
These photographs are not just about dance—they’re about the process of becoming. The solitude before the spotlight. The internal rehearsal that builds the confidence we see on stage.
“I think a challenging aspect of being a performer is showing up on the days you feel like you have nothing to give,” she shares.
“But every night there is a new audience that deserves the best. That’s what being a professional is truly about. You leave everything else outside and dive into your stage presence.”
In Crazy Horse Paris' rehearsal space, Gypsy Jane works through the bones of her new solo—exploring nuance, power, and rhythm with a mix of grace and grit. On another day, she returns to her private studio, barefoot and alone, dancing purely for herself. The energy shifts from performance to meditation.
“Cabaret has allowed me to realise the multifaceted aspects of sensuality and empowerment,” Gypsy reflects.
“The importance of both strength and vulnerability must be displayed on stage in order to convey the entire character in its power and emotion.”
She credits her Australian upbringing for the grounded energy she brings to the Parisian stage.
“My upbringing was one of relaxed, playful energy. I try to bring that into my performances. To remember the little Aussie girl from the Central Coast who is now dancing at Crazy Horse Paris—overwhelmed by gratitude and letting my personality shine through.”
These photographs reveal a dancer in motion, but also in evolution. Through repetition, stillness, and soul-searching, Piper shapes not only her choreography—but her identity as a Crazy Horse Paris woman.
“You’re placed next to dancers who’ve been performing for 15 years,” she says. “You watch them. Learn from them. But you also have to back yourself and stay grounded in who you are. That’s the magic of Crazy—it’s both legacy and reinvention.”
This story is a quiet tribute to those fleeting moments before the curtain rises. A glimpse into the layers of vulnerability and strength that make a Crazy Horse Paris dancer unforgettable—even when no one is watching.
Author’s Note:
As a photographer, my work has often taken me to remote corners of the world, where I’ve captured the pulse of humanity in extreme conditions. But within the storied walls of Crazy Horse Paris, I found a different kind of intensity—one defined by ritual, discipline, and creative collaboration. This series is an intimate glimpse into the unseen side of the world-renowned cabaret: the rehearsals, the backstage moments, the quiet human connection that makes the show possible. Through these black-and-white images, I hope to convey the dedication, passion, and resilience that defines the women of Crazy Horse Paris.
