Overview

• The wings collapsed on April 25, 2024, due to a central axis failure without causing injuries.
• Four new aluminum-and-steel wings were mounted for the July 5, 2024 Olympic flame event but remained motionless pending a custom motor.
• Over the past year engineers developed a bespoke electric motor designed to meet the cabaret’s heritage preservation and technical requirements.
• The new rotation schedule will see the wings turn daily from 16:00 to 02:00, lighting up the Montmartre skyline.
• The cabaret has remained open throughout, sustaining its two nightly French Cancan shows and in-house plumasserie and embroidery ateliers.
