Interlope, a masculine noun, whose definitions, from “merchant ship engaged in smuggling” to person of “shady or suspicious appearance”, hint at its clandestine, secretive and transgressive nature.
That of a homosexual subculture, which, in Paris of the interwar period, found an outlet in cabarets and transvestite balls. In L’Interlope, premiered in autumn 2016, Serge Bagdassarian does not merely recreate a period cabaret: he takes us behind the curtain, to the intermediary space of the dressing rooms, this space of intimacy that precedes the baring of the body, a space of transformation for the cross-dresser, a place where things may be spoken in confidence and the bleak suffering of the outside world may be expressed.
Three generations of men and one woman give us insights into their daily torments; the outlook of the older ones is tinged with nostalgia and fear but they look to the new generation with hope. Soon the world of the revue takes centre stage, with feathers, rhinestones and sequins announcing extravaganza and celebration.
The repertoire of this show borrows of course from the emblematic songs of the interlope genre but above all it sets out to include texts and melodies that evoke, either directly or allusively, the question of sexual identity and the coercive environment in which these cabarets formed havens of freedom. Far from grimacing farce, Serge Bagdassarian’s staging paints the picture of an era in bittersweet colours.
