The Monocle, the highly-acclaimed, stylish contemporary dance and music production created by award-winning choreographer Mathieu Geffr , founder and Artistic Director of Rendez-Vous Dance. The Monocle…where nothing is impossible…reveals and celebrates the long-forgotten pioneering history of Le Monocle, the legendary 1930s Paris nightclub where glamorous lesbians dined, danced, sang and socialised without fear of persecution within its plush, secret walls. Featuring a smouldering, versatile cast of seven, this compelling work of dance, music and song will tour the UK in 2026.
