A collaboration between Clod Ensemble and Split Britches.
Miss Risque is a story of secrets and showgirls. It’s a code written on the back of a calling card, delivered with a bouquet of flowers, overheard in the powder rooms of the Folies–Bergeres. It is a dangerous liaison lurking under the skirts of turn of the century Paris. Performed as Double Agency with It’s a Small House and We Lived in it Always.
“Each piece maintains an admirable balance between cleverly conceived, spirited entertainment and intelligent insight … thoughtfully choreographed work that is splendidly enhanced by the bluesy music of Mr. Clark.” The New York Times
