Synopsis
During la Belle Epoque, the cafes, cabarets and theaters of Paris were filled with music, dance and absinthe. Within this European capital of pleasure, the Moulin Rouge became the center of hedonism. While that popular showplace remains best known for its can-can dancers and Toulouse Lautrec, one of the truly unique performance artists to grace its stage has been largely forgotten. Joseph Pujol, a tall, dignified man with an extraordinary bodily talent, outdrew and out-grossed the most famous of the theater's performers. "Le Petomane," as he was billed, blew audiences away with his "musical anus," leaving high society audiences hysterical with laughter.
