Today, we are taking a special look at the spectacular new ballet extravaganza dancing its way into movie theaters nationwide later this week courtesy of SpectiCast's presentation of Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet's MOULIN ROUGE.
You Can Can-Can The music. The dance. The energy. The romance. The can-can. The many unforgettable elements conjured up when musing upon the famed Parisian entertainment venue known as the Moulin Rouge are copious, but it is the iconic dance introduced and celebrated there over a hundred years ago that most immediately springs to mind most of all. And, with good reason - perhaps no other act of movement so expertly captures the precise feeling of a time and a place at a particular point in history than the can-can commands. Indeed, the artists who have paid homage to the iconic and sexy dance are wide-ranging and wondrous - the colorful paintings of Toulouse-Lautrec to Jacques Offenbach's legendary musical piece ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD to Cole Porter's Broadway musical CAN-CAN to Baz Luhrmann's game-changing movie musical experiment MOULIN ROUGE! and far beyond, not to mention this stunning new ballet presented by SpectiCast premiering in movie theaters nationwide later this week.
