Catalogue Essay
'Redoute' was the name for a carnival parade and includes two of Lautrec's iconic women, the dancer, La Goulue, and the female clown, Cha-U-Kao, who can be seen riding up front along with other circus performers in fancy dress. The occasion for this gala was the autumn celebration at the Moulin Rouge dance-hall of the Franco-Russian alliance agreed in mid-July 1893.
