La Fille à la Mode

La Fille à la Mode is a musical journey through surprising locations in and out of buildings such as the National Theatre, a department store in Holland, the V&A Museum, or the Theatre Royal Haymarket, where it began its life. A company of seven female dancers, actresses and musicians dressed in sumptuous costumes bring an audience on a playful and seductive exploration of the continued celebration and exploitation of glamorous It Girls throughout the ages.

A mysterious accordionist leads the audience on an unexpected trail where performances pop up seemingly out of nowhere, singing the words of Coco Chanel: 'A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.' The production was premiered in August 2011 at the National Theatre as part of Watch This Space Festival.
