Welcome to The Monocle, where nothing is impossible!

The Monocle is a highly acclaimed, stylish contemporary dance and music production created by award-winning choreographer Mathieu Geffré, founder and Artistic Director of Rendez-Vous Dance. 

This dance production reveals and celebrates the long forgotten pioneering history of Le Monocle, the legendary 1930s Paris nightclub where glamorous lesbians dined, danced, sang and socialised without fear of persecution within its plush, secret walls. 

Featuring a smouldering, versatile cast of seven – including the celebrated early jazz singer and band leader, Imogen Banks.

Two dancers bathed in blue-green light lean towards each other, kneeling.
Two performers lean towards a third in the middle of them to kiss them on the cheek. the performer in the centre has their eyes wide in surprise.
