Viktor Devonne is delighted to be invited into the home where the mother of the House of Noire (a.k.a. the Noire Gems) for a candid chat about her near-retirement, her process, her family of performers, how she teaches, her unapologetic high standards, and what's she's going on for the future.
... This intimate chat was a wonderful experience; capturing the passionately professional Perle Noire in such an informal setting (clock the dish washer in the background at points) was a rare and captivating glimpse of one of the most exciting women in the scene today.
... Perle Noire recently completed a one-night one-person show she calls a "healing ceremony" to process her grief after a personal tragedy.
... notes: this was recorded before Taradise took over as House of Noire dance captain, and before Miss Poison Ivory's pregnancy announcement.
... topics: all out on stage, one-person show, leaving through the kitchen, rage, Frozen, retirement, mentorship, 500 hours in the studio, "That looks terrible," self-defined queen, titles, Josephine Baker, re: white audiences and white producers, the Nefertiti crown, choreography: why are you doing that and why should the audience care, seven deadly sins, Dido, touching earth, growing up poor, Dallas to Vegas to New Orleans to New York, handselected by Dita, do not show up without red lipstick, flats for a moment, true burlesque, here for the Harder thrust, authentic painted face, what about a gumbo, getting booked, patience and clarity, represent yourself, Healing Through Seduction
