Cabaret-Théâtre L'étoile bleue

The cabaret L'étoile bleue is the first maritime cabaret in France in Marseille, created by Manoah Michelot, a professional dancer trained at the Ecole Nationale de Danse in Marseille and his partner Ludovic Sabatier.
After several years of travelling the cabaret has settled in its own place, a completely renovated Italian theatre, in the heart of Marseille. This place hosts cabaret shows but also other art forms: dance, music, cinema, performances...
