Francis Giacobetti - Les Filles Du Crazy - 1982

Les filles du Crazy is an illustrated French coffee-table book published in 1982 by the publisher Love Me Tender. It documents and celebrates the famous dancers—known as the "Crazy Girls"—of the Crazy Horse Saloon, Paris's iconic avant-garde cabaret cabaret known for its highly stylized, artistic nude dance performances and lighting design.

The book is an artistic collaboration between notable French cultural figures:
José Artur: A prominent French radio host, actor, and journalist who provided text and commentary for the book.

Régine Deforges: A famous French author, editor, and feminist who wrote introductory text and commentary exploring the sensuality, precise artistry, and discipline of the dancers.

Francis Giacobetti: A legendary French photographer and director (frequently known for his work with Lui magazine and the erotic film Emmanuelle 2), who captured the book’s striking imagery.

Alberto Dell'Orto: Contributed to the artistic production and design of the book.

The book contains roughly 108 pages combining erotic photography, interviews, and essays. It details the intense choreography, strict presentation rules, and specialized stage lighting designed by Crazy Horse founder Alain Bernardin.

It explores how individual dancers were unified into a synchronized collective, mapping out the precise blend of shadow, light, and geometry that transformed cabaret performance into high art.
