Louise: The Last Dance is a 50-minute solo theatre and media arts work by performer and creator Stella Kulagowski, telling the story of Louise Weber — better known as La Goulue — the working-class woman who invented the cancan, became the first star of the Moulin Rouge, and died selling peanuts on the street outside the same club, forgotten by the world that had once celebrated her. Fusing live performance, projection, archival media, and dance, Kulagowski draws on period press and rare documentary footage of Louise filmed weeks before her death to ask whose stories get told and whose get buried. The production marks Kulagowski's Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut, following three consecutive sold-out productions at the Toronto Fringe Festival.
