Summary:
"We begin in the middle. Paris. Late fall 1977. Three Japanese avant-garde dancers, Murobushi Kô, Carlotta Ikeda (Ikeda Sanae), and Hanaoka Mizelle (Yoshioka Yumiko) arrived in Paris, but not to present an avant-garde dance. Rather they aimed to audition a burlesque show at the cabaret Le Jardin Champs-Élysées. If this were a movie, we would show the three approaching the cabaret and then pan to show the nearby Eiffel Tower. Do not be fooled though. Their goal was to use the cabaret as a foot-in-the-door, with the hope of performing their experimental dance. Alas, their burlesque show did not appeal to the promoters. It was just too strange. They tried the Crazy Horse Saloon and Folies Bergères, but their show was not only too bizarre, but also much too small for such venues. At this point, they gave up, their hopes of establishing a foothold in France dashed. Yoshioka reached out to her mother (a high-end cabaret producer in Japan), and she arranged a job for them in Tehran"--Provided by publisher.
