The gold Lambeth Canon, patois and glitter are (very) good ... - La Voix du Nord

It is also delightfully crazy on stage and behind the scenes at the Golden Canon, tavern transformist to Lambeth.

“It Hits who think we are married for real and she really is a woman. ” This is day Rehearsal at Golden Canon, beautiful property at the edge of Lille and Lambeth, near the Bois de Boulogne. A tavern or cabaret cabaret café is based on whether you prefer to eat or see. On stage this afternoon there, Niko and Miss Danji play the “ picolophone .” This is one of the attractions of the show. Philippe Laville tape on bamboo them on empty bottles. Sound house wine: rosé de Loire, a windfall, ratafia, a small coast town … Each bottle its sound

.

Niko and Danji – here everyone calls “Mama ” – play Small White Wine . Not a false note. “ We do not drink during the service ” Niko slips. It should be noted that during the show, he repeats at that “ Mom is a small soûlote .” Both donned gold costumes and light they are final.

During the show, Mom costume change nine times, Niko and Seb, the third handsome trio, seven times. Canon gold does not turn as it rotates without pianist called “ Mr. Potato “, the manager, the head waiter, the seven people in the dining room and the other three in the kitchen (except fries, everything is homemade). Behind the curtain, it is stirred continuously. “ Do not enter, I’m naked ” shouts Danji, when a curious head passes. Niko looked up to heaven: “She always buttocks in the air that one !”

Bourvil has been there

Rue de Lille, Lambeth: history repeats itself. There is a little over a hundred years, there was nothing here that cabaret. Deûle did not face this one. There was almost nothing, and yet we are not pressed. People came to celebrate Lambeth “ because in that time, alcohol was taxed less than Lille .” The revelers then went to Golden Canon (which later gave its name to the neighborhood), money Canon (a tavern that was open where there bakery Paul now) or a little higher in Moulin Rouge (with a real Moulin Rouge and Paris).

It is therefore more than a century at 296 rue de Lille, the demon of party just shoot you through the feet. Before returning cabaret, the place has had several lives. Bourvil even mounted on these boards: it was a movie – Rex – a ballroom, a billiard room and even the first radio taxis Lille

. The mystery box

Back behind the scenes of the Golden Canon. Niko about Mom, which has just left his suit of lights “ It is more naughty than panther .” In the light of the day, we discover a sculptural silhouette, a look of tiger foliage and a smile on their faces constantly. When the suit is delivered to the hanger and the feathers fell, Miss Danji disappears a few moments to let João, his other self, to express themselves. He was born not far from Rio de Janeiro, but never mean when. He now lives Emmerin. There are not long in columns Voice , he said: “. I was raised in an environment of women ” At least it to successfully move with heels on which it is perched 3/4 time. Singer, dancer, transvestite, Miss Danji, passed by the Folie’s de Paris, it is both. A little stylist too. “ It was she who designed the costumes ,” says Niko. They are made in a fashion Lille, Jean-Philippe Bedard. Beer clothing, here is favored short circuit “ We also work with a feather-worker Antwerp .”

only regret at the end of this tour behind the scenes of Canon gold: the mystery of the box remained whole. The box? A magic trick. Mom enters a breakthrough box. When Niko turns to find the sticks that will push right through, Mom saves. We think this is a travesty but it’s more subtle. When the box is opened, there is “Seb” in the nude. We had everyone on the issue, threatened to sink their sturdiest toothpicks under the fingernails. Nobody has caused. The public of the new year will be entitled to the number of the box. Privileged who have booked their place before mid-September. Since then, the golden Canon is full for the night of 31.
