"Moulin Rouge", which means "Red Mill" in French, is the world's most famous classical cabaret, one of the symbols of Paris. Opened in 1889, it was timed to coincide with the start of the World's Fair and the completion of construction Eiffel Tower. It was written about the Moulin Rouge a large number of songs and six films were shot, the last of which, with the participation of Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, returned cabaret to its former popularity.

“Moulin Rouge” is a symbol of fulfilled and unfulfilled hopes, broken and united hearts, creativity and vice, beauty and ugliness. Corporate event "Moulin Rouge" will allow all participants to plunge into the world of fun, music and dance. The party is filled with the spirit of enchanting magic, the languid aroma of voluptuousness, luxury and dazzling splendor.

A gorgeous performance, a bright show, rhinestones, sparkles, feathers, chic costumes, rich decorations and, of course, luxurious girls. There is nothing more captivating and revealing than the famous costumes of cabaret favorites who brilliantly perform the cancan, which has long been considered an obscene dance in France.

Charming mimes greet partygoers as soon as they enter. They show entertaining pantomimes, give air kisses and colorful balloons. There is also a caricature artist working here in the guise of a French street artist; in a few minutes he will sketch an excellent portrait. A little further there is a special area for a photo shoot. Which of the participants corporate event "Moulin Rouge" resist the opportunity to take a photo in a boa next to the famous mill or against the backdrop of a picturesque view of Montmartre?

The hall is already filled with the famous soundtrack from the Oscar-winning melodrama-musical, as well as catchy compositions by Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Bianca, piquant, playful and fiery music by Offenbach (author of “Cancan”) and romantic French melodies.

Finally, all the guests are assembled. The host of the celebration appears on stage dressed as an entertainer, and the fun begins!

Program Moulin Rouge parties extensive:

• masterful salon juggling
• Burimist poets
• mnemonic numbers
• luxurious feather show ballet “Variety”
• master class on performing cancan
• performance by the star of "Moulin Rouge"
• festive fireworks!

The interactive program of competitions, entertainment and games with guests will also be very intense, here are some of them:

Contest " Best bouquet" Young people temporarily collect bouquets of fresh flowers offered to them in a large basket. The most beautiful and creative bouquet wins. Participants in the competition can then give the resulting bouquets to beautiful girls from among their colleagues.

Game "French forfeits". Guests write tasks for each other on cards to do something directly at the party and put them in a top hat. Victims chosen through a blind draw will have to fulfill the wishes on the note.

Show "Shadow Theatre". A screen and a bright lamp behind it are installed on the stage so that the audience sees only shadows. To the accompaniment of beautiful music, several participants silently act out a skit (for example, excerpts from fairy tales or other works), and the guest with the best speech and strong voice works as an announcer, reading the original text.

Competition "Dancer's Hat". An integral part of a cabaret dancer's outfit is a miniature top hat. Participants divided into small teams decorate paper blanks in the form of black cylinders. Available materials: flowers, rhinestones, glue, colored paper, scissors, ribbons, buttons.

Holiday menu corporate holiday "Moulin Rouge" made in the rich style of serving treats that reigned in the era of decadence. Visitors to the luxurious cabaret ate oysters and caviar, red fish and grilled meat. Our priority will be dishes French cuisine: poultry or pork fricassee, ratatouille, tartlets with various fillings, salads, baked meat in wine, fish with Provençal herbs, julienne, cheese slices and baguettes in baskets, pates, foie gras.

The variety of drinks will include champagne, cognac, French wines, liqueurs, and, of course, cocktails. It is known that in 1889, the main drink in the French cabaret was green absinthe, which included vodka, thujone and wormwood extract. Nowadays, absinthe is called a slightly different drink, which still does not prevent it from rightfully occupying a central place.

The choice of desserts will not leave anyone indifferent: the most delicate croissants, eclairs and meringues, chocolate mousse with fresh strawberries, French vanilla ice cream with mint liqueur. And at the very end, as a finale, a breathtakingly beautiful cake will be served!

Perhaps the most interesting Moulin Rouge party are the outfits of the participants.

* Women are the main decoration of the holiday. And ladies need to try hard to match the evening. First of all, you need to choose the right wardrobe. Fluffy skirts, black stockings, various garters, corsets, boas, all kinds of feathers - everything you can imagine. You can choose a dress in the Moulin Rouge style: it will be a corset or a tight top with a large neckline, as well as a fluffy long skirt with open legs in the front. Owners of beautiful legs have the opportunity to demonstrate all their charm with impunity. You can let your hair down and twist it into beautiful curls. Makeup should be bright (red lipstick, eyeliner, blush), and nails should be long and preferably also red.

* Representatives of the stronger sex are better off choosing a formal black suit (tuxedo or even a tailcoat); it’s a good idea to take a top hat or hat, a monocle or a cane. And, of course, cigars, as a symbol of brutality. A rose in a buttonhole would also be appropriate. At the party, if desired, men will be able to play cards and poker.

Entertainment

Hold a competition for best cocktail: Provide guests with a bar with a few cocktail ingredients and encourage them to create something creative.

Since a cabaret is, by definition, a place where performers of different genres (singers, dancers, acrobats, ...) perform shows, you could ask your guests to prepare a short skit or act.

Throw a detective party or play casino games (poker, blackjack, roulette).

Making a playlist for a Moulin Rouge-themed party couldn't be easier. After all, the main idea of ​​the holiday is a musical of grandiose proportions. This means that all the soundtracks from the film are bound to be a stunning backdrop for your party. Well, I’ll now name a couple more compositions that will harmoniously (in my opinion) fit into the atmosphere of your holiday.

MUSIC FOR A GATSBY-STYLE PARTY

To begin with, let's talk about the soundtracks from the film. To make your search easier and not force you to watch the musical again, let’s name the most resonant, well-known romantic ballads:

Songs from the musical are good, but they are absolutely not suitable if you include “impromptu dance” in the script of your holiday. For dancing, it is better to take something close in spirit, but more rhythmic. musical material. For example, compositions by Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Bianca, Liza Minnelli (“Mani-Mani”). And also, be sure to add the elegant, piquant, playful, fiery, truly French music of Offenbach (the glorious “Cancan” belongs to his musical genius). And a few more compositions abstracted from the musical, but typical for a stylized party:

To these tunes, it is best to dance fiery Latin, burn in Argentine tango, beat Balkan tribal, and demonstrate multifaceted acting skills, performing modern jazz, burlesque and sexy RnB.

You can also use these rhythms as a background for a gaming entertainment program. By the way, would you like some ideas on how to organize it in the Moulin Rouge style?

ENTERTAINMENT

Game 1. “Speed ​​matters”	Fun and games for this enchanting musical, truly French evening should be selected depending on the age, composition and “degree of debauchery” of your guests. If you are organizing a holiday for people without complexes and prejudices, and moreover, of the same age, social status and range of interests, entertainment of this type is suitable: Details: 2 corsets with lacing, antique type, timer. Number of participants: at least two couples (2 girls + 2 guys). The essence of the game: Temporarily unlace the corset the girl is wearing. What won't a real man do in a fit of passion? Even a corset is not an obstacle to the desired fruit! However, if among you there are really a lot of “craftsmen”, for whom even an ancient corset, tightened with whalebone up to the shoulder, can complicate the task a little. For example, you can ask the participants in the game to unlace the corset while blindfolded or simply by kissing the girl who is wearing it.
Game 2. “Men’s cancan”	The ancient French dance, even in our jaded age of dominant and overt sexuality, still excites the hearts of many men! An elegant leg, a miniature garter, a radiant smile makes the blood run faster through the veins! But what if the leg is far from miniature and graceful? Even more than that, rough and with increased vegetation? Will it have the same effect? Certainly! True, if there are people willing to take part in the next fun! Props: cabaret dancers' skirts and hats large sizes, music for cancan. Number of participants: all interested males. Essence: Women are members of the jury. Men dance the cancan. The most “French dancer” who will cause a storm of emotions and applause is awarded with kisses from all members of the jury and a medal (can be paper) for the winner.
Game 3. “2 minutes of temptations”	Props: large boxes (or wardrobes, which are in the house). Number of participants: minimum 6 people (3 guys + 3 girls). Rules: Guys hide in closets, or in large boxes from household appliances. Girls, on the other hand, choose the closet that they like best, without knowing who is hiding behind the door. At the command of the presenter: “Timer!”, the girls must enter the closet (or climb into the box) and kiss the guy who hid there. On the command: “Time is up!”, the couples come out of their hiding places. The awareness of who you just shared narrow space and a kiss can cause a storm of emotions both among the participants in the game and hooting among the audience (and this is very useful at a Moulin Rouge-style party).
Game 4. “In the Dark”	Another game that goes off with a bang! in the atmosphere of permissiveness of the Moulin Rouge, among guests warmed by absinthe. Props: eye patches. Number of participants: everyone is interested. Rules: All participants (both boys and girls) wear blindfolds. And the lighting in the room is also dimmed. At the command “start”, the participants begin to walk around the room. The essence of the game is that, without seeing and bumping into each other, boys and girls must kiss. However, in the terms of the competition there is a clause: before kissing the “obstacle” on the route, you can touch the hair (to make sure that in front of you is a representative of the opposite sex).

Game 5. “Card Kiss”	Props: playing card (ace of hearts). Number of participants: equal number of men and women. Rules: All men and women stand in a circle. Their task is to convey playing card by word of mouth. But! The card should not be held with your teeth, but held by sucking in air. That is, the first participant inhales - holds the card, the second - takes the card, also drawing in air, and passes it to the next person. The one who could not hold the card with the power of breathing kisses the next one in the circle and is eliminated from the game.
Game 6. “The Cunning of the Courtesan”	Props: Number of participants: at least two couples (boy + girl). Rules: Girls with garters on their legs sit on chairs. The guys kneel in front of them. At the presenter’s command “Start!”, the guys begin to remove the garters from the girls’ legs with their teeth (without using their hands). Girls, in turn, do not have the right to help. The winner is the one who first copes with such a difficult task. If advanced age, increased shyness or insufficiently close company forces you to hold a party at the Moulin Rouge with more restraint, you can offer guests more “intelligent” entertainment.
	Have you noticed that an integral part of a cabaret dancer’s outfit is a miniature top hat? Invite your guests to quickly decorate such a hat according to their taste and discretion. Props: paper blank - black cylinder, flowers, rhinestones, glue, colored paper, scissors, ribbons, buttons. Essence: All participants are divided into two teams. Each team has the same set of available tools. The task is to quickly assemble an elegant hat in the style of the Moulin Rouge. The winner is determined by voting by the audience (those guests who did not want to participate in the competition).
	Props: screen, bright lamp, hat, sheets with tasks. Rules: Participants take a piece of paper with a task from the hat and go behind the screen. Their task is to show what is written, using only their body, hands, and ingenuity. You can show excerpts on a love theme, you can act out your favorite children's fairy tale, you can show animals and birds. Spectators in the hall see only shadows and reflections. That team of participants, based on whose actions the audience will quickly determine what the we're talking about- wins. This game has several variations, each of which is interesting in its own way. Variation 1. All the girls go behind the screen, but the guys remain in the hall. The guys' task is to find out from the shadow which of the girls is dancing behind the screen. Variation 2. Prepare music and narration for each plot indicated on the leaves in the hat. Let the team of participants show what the narrator will talk about, and let their actions be accompanied by light, recognizable, characteristic music.

	In the midst of various romantic games, we forgot that the popularity of the French cabaret was, after all, brought by the famous musical. Therefore, be sure to organize at least one musical competition. You can, for example, play “guess the melody” from the film, or you can hold a casting for the best performer of the role of Celine and her songs. Number of participants: everyone (girls).
	This competition, in principle, echoes the previous one. It differs only in the wider range of participants involved. The point: take a song from a film, and come up with a story for it, play out its plot, show emotions, passion, feelings!
	When a man kisses a lady’s hand, she is thrilled with delight, and everyone around them sighs: “Oh, what a gallant gentleman!” Therefore, the game, according to the rules of which you need to kiss ladies’ hands, is very intelligent. Rules: Participants (man and woman) stand opposite each other. The man’s task is to kiss the lady’s each finger differently. A woman’s task is to respond to every kiss with a passionate, loving monologue.

Passion, attraction, sin... Moulin Rouge combines all this with an intoxicating unbridled desire!

Moulin Rouge literally means red mill. This is a famous classic cabaret in Paris, built in 1889. The name of the cabaret was given by a wooden mill with red wings, created by decarator Leon-Adolphe Villette. The red color of the wings clearly hinted at the red light district. The Moulin Rouge attracted not only representatives of the middle class, but also aristocrats, people of art (Picasso, Oscar Wilde) and even members of royal families, for example, the Prince of Wales. The main attraction of the establishment was the famous cancan.

Invitations

Invitations can be designed in the form of bright colorful programs or caricatures can be made for each invited guest.

Hall decoration

A Moulin Rouge-style party can take place in any cafe or restaurant, the main thing is to take care of the lighting. The hall should have dim lighting, and the decoration should be dominated by red and black colors.

On front door put up a Cabaret sign. Decorate the hall in black and red style. Display red fabric, French paintings, Moulin Rouge style posters. To recreate the atmosphere of Paris, pay attention to table decorations. Place large baskets of French baguettes. Place flowers, preferably red, throughout the Moulin Rouge-style party hall. You can also hang paper ones, but only in red.
Place several small tables around the room, instead of one large one, like in a cabaret.
You can leave inscriptions or lip marks with red lipstick on the mirrors.
You can even leave a menu program on the tables, in which you can name the usual dishes in the French style and briefly describe the entertainment program (so that guests know when to give gifts, until what time the whole celebration will be, where is the smoking room, etc.). Such are known French dishes, like onion or cheese soup, beef Bourguignon or coq au vin - chicken in wine. For dessert, chocolate mousse, creme brulee and Poire Belle Helene - pear with vanilla ice cream and chocolate. The final chord is hot chocolate and, of course, cafe au lait. A good choice sauces from Provencal to bechamel and Dijon mustard. Goose pate instead of foie gras or truffles made at the factory named after. Krupskaya. It is not necessary to offer all this to guests, but you can use the names.

Suits

Watch the movie Moulin Rouge and use your imagination. It is in this film that you will find images of ladies with cigars, cabaret girls and harlots of the last century.
Women
Black stockings and red headbands, shoes, hats and fans, feathers, rhinestones, sequins, dresses with fluffy skirts and frills, hats with feathers and short brims, corsets and pearl beads, boas and cigarette holders,
Men
Tuxedos and top hats, cigars, bow ties, gloves.

Makeup

The Moulin Rouge look should revolve around flawless skin, slightly pouty lips and dewy eyes adorned with quivering false eyelashes. For radiant skin, set your face with shimmering loose powder after applying your foundation, blending pink petal blush just under your cheekbones. To do eye makeup like that of the Moulin Rouge dancer, use provocative shades of eyeshadow: charcoal, ruby ​​and garnet. Apply shimmering powder under the eyebrows, above the cheekbones and on the eyelids. A chic look for a Moulin Rouge-themed party will be incomplete without a beautiful manicure. Whatever design you choose, it is worth remembering that the party is in the style of the Moulin Rouge, and you should still adhere to harmony in makeup, hairstyle and manicure. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to hair. Various valuable jewellery, ribbons, lace and feathers will be added finishing touches to your unique image. You can see how to use them from Pink and Christina Aguilera in the Lady Marmalade video.

Menu

Place French dishes on the tables (for example, cheese soup, mousse, hot chocolate). For a drink, take wine.

Music

You might consider live music. If you manage to find a good accordionist, consider half the battle done! Let the most romantic French tunes sound throughout the evening. Don't forget to include "Mani-Mani", "Lady Marmalade" and Offenbach's music in your set of disco music.

Dancing

Of course, cancan, as well as: tribal, Latin, modern jazz, Balkan tribal, Lindy hop, Slavic tribal, burlesque, retro, Broadway show, Argentine tango, sexy R’n’B.

Meeting with guests

A mime would be perfect for organizing guests, who would escort guests to their tables to French music, send air kisses, and give balloons. different colors or balls with numbers, indicating that the ball needs to be tied to a chair, that it is a personal ball. Please pay attention Special attention host's suit, ask famous people to speak more often French phrases“Bonjour madame et monsieur!”

Entertainment

Invite a caricature artist or street artist to the banquet itself, let him draw all the guests who want. The artist's outfit must be appropriate - a French artist. As a rule, you can negotiate with artists on the street to work inexpensively for 2-3 hours in a warm room.
Attractions are also suitable entertainment for a Moulin Rouge-themed party. This could be a bartender show, a performance by a magician in a tailcoat and top hat, etc.

Announce that a new cabaret has opened, which requires dancers and dancers, so on this holiday there will be a selection of girls and young men for the dance group, but only two will pass the selection, a girl and a young man.
What is the main thing in the life of a cabaret? Of course, cancan. Therefore, girls must show how they can dance this dance. A competition is held for the best dance. Three winners are awarded red roses.
Young people also need to be shown what they are capable of. Held dance competition among men, to the song “Mani-Mani” from the film “Cabaret”. Three winners are awarded a cigar.
Now the presenter calls both girls and boys, winners of previous competitions, then divides them into pairs in random order. A dance competition is held among couples. The winners are awarded a prize.

Dancer's clothes
Girls participate in the competition. For the competition you will need fishnet stockings, corsets, full skirts, long skirts, short miniskirts, blouses, dresses of various styles. All things are laid out on the table. The participants’ task, after the presenter’s signal, is to choose and wear from among all the clothes the one that is suitable for a cabaret dancer. The winner is the girl who chooses the right attire and looks like a cabaret dancer. The winner is determined by voting among men.
Best bouquet
The presenter calls several guys and brings out a large basket with flowers in it. Time is recorded. On command, the guys begin to collect bouquets. The most beautiful and creative bouquet wins. Buy a variety of fresh flowers in advance.

French forfeits
A game in which guests are asked to write a task on cards - to do something this evening, the cards are dropped into a hat ( better cylinder use), then during the evening one of the guests calls a number and takes out a card with a task (this is the number of the ball, i.e. which of the guests will complete the task of the note). This game will help you avoid banal competitions.

Shadow play.
A “screen” and a bright lamp are installed so that guests see only the shadows of those who are behind the screen. To the accompaniment of beautiful music, you can show a pre-prepared scene with the help of guests on a love theme; acted out excerpts from fairy tales, in which different actions are accompanied by different music, turn out to be very funny. Someone works as an announcer - reads the text. Another option: you can show only the action using shadows, and guests will guess what it is. Music in this case should be a hint. For example, love monologues from various famous films, including the unexpected “17 Moments of Spring”, etc. And another option: one of the guests is invited to play a role in the skit, the announcer reads the text of the skit with expression, and the guest actors must portray this in a shadow theater without uttering sounds or words, without any objects (i.e. if in the text it is said about an axe, then the actors must portray it using only their hands).
Extravaganza parody
can follow after a beautiful dance or even instead of it. They dress the male guest as a cabaret dancer or invite a life-size doll. The costume should be comical, showing off feminine charms (example: Veerka Serduchka). Host: And now Dear friends, surprise! We meet a beauty from the heart of France, from Paris... Charming “Miss Erotica”!

Much has been written and much said about the Moulin Rouge - so much the better! It will be much easier for us to organize a real party in the style of this popular cabaret.

So let's get started...

When to get ready?

You can get together to feel like a spectator or an actor in a cabaret on any free evening. Of course, it’s better if you have a lot of time, and not 1-2 hours, but during this period you can completely reincarnate yourself and change own house, creating the atmosphere of a real cabaret.

Where to gather?

Of course, wherever it is convenient for you. Where you can unwind and relax. Still, visiting a cabaret is akin to going to a modern strip club. That's why best place for a party in the style of Moulin Rouge will be your own home. It is better if it is spacious.

How to decorate the interior?

The main decoration of any room can be posters of the famous artist Toulouse Lautrec. Moulin Rouge-style posters and French paintings that may show dancing girls can be found online.

The hall itself where the party will be held can be decorated with a large and bright “Cabaret” sign. Try to choose a room in such a way that it can accommodate several tables, rather than one large one. If you don't have the same countertops, you can use different furnishings. They just need to be covered with identical tablecloths or temporarily sealed with a special film.

You can also decorate the room with special garlands with rare large light bulbs, white and red paper roses, and hearts. You can also use photographs of guests, which in Photoshop you can replace with the faces of Parisian celebrities. These photos can then become souvenirs in your impromptu cabaret.

What to dress up in?

Here the scope of your imagination will not be limited by anything. You can dress up in modern dresses or use outfits rented from the nearest theater. Stylized costumes are also offered by stores that sell clothes, shoes and accessories for carnivals and other celebrations. The only important thing is that men wear tailcoats or at least simple trouser suits, and all women become the owners of elegant hats, fans and luxurious evening dresses.

Well, the employees of the establishment themselves should acquire fluffy multi-layered skirts and corsets.

Take care of your makeup too

The image of the Moulin Rouge should start from flawless skin, expressive eyes and slightly plump lips. To make your skin glow, cover it with shimmering powder. And the blush Pink colour blend only under the cheekbones.

The provocative makeup of dancers cannot do without bright shadows. They can be black, garnet or ruby. Also, don’t forget to apply powder with a shimmer effect under your eyebrows.

Additionally, you can get a French manicure. It will complete the look and make you a real lady from the last century.

What to listen to?

Of course, the soundtrack to the famous movie."Lady Marmalade" performed by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Mia and Lil' Kim will immediately set the mood. Well, in addition you can include songs related to France.

What to eat and drink?

Visitors to the luxurious cabaret ate oysters and caviar, red fish and grilled meat. But you can save money. Serve plenty of canapés and light snacks. But don't forget about alcohol. Remember the “green little devils”? Of course, absinthe should be present on the tables. But don't overdo it. You can make a lot of cocktails from it by simply diluting the drink with any fruit juice. Orange or pineapple would be ideal.

You can also buy martinis. The French of the last century loved him very much. Anyone can prepare the simplest cocktail in just 5 minutes.

You will need:

• Martini;
• mineral water(or Schweppes);
• ice;
• lime.

Pour 2/3 of the martini into a glass, squeeze out the juice of half a lemon and add mineral water and ice. The cocktail is ready. You can put an olive on the straw. Its half can become a decoration for the edge of the glass.

It’s hard to imagine France without all kinds of sweets. Use sherbet or small chocolates, carefully placing the dessert in vases or bowls. You can also make ice cream from fruit juice. By the way, you can make it even without long-term freezing. Take a small plastic bag and pour the juice into it, tie it tightly. Now place this bag in the larger one. First add ice and a glass of salt into a large bag. Tie again. Now just shake the bag vigorously for a minute. Frozen juice is ready!

Things to do?

Dance! Together or separately. You can also distribute roles. Some of you will become dancers, and some of you will become spectators. In addition to dancing, you can play cards. Any games will do. Even if you don’t know the basics of poker, you can even play “Fool”, no one will judge you.

Someone can take on the role of a mime. He will be an entertainer, a doorman and an actor at the same time. To the accompaniment of French music, he can escort guests to their tables, blow them kisses, and hand them balloons.

The most interesting entertainment can be French forfeits. They are no different from those to which we are accustomed. Make task cards and draw them out one at a time. Moreover, come up with tasks related to France. For example, “dance the cancan”, “sing a song in French”, etc.

Is there a person among you who draws well? Great. You can spend hour of cartoons. You can also take them back later as a souvenir.

Guests will like it extravaganza-parody. It can follow after a luxurious dance. You just need to dress a man as a cabaret dancer and invite him to an energetic dance.

In fact, there can be a lot of ideas for such a party. You can sing French chanson together, draw each other, organize competitions best performance cancana, prepare hot chocolate.

Fantasize, and everything will definitely work out!
