Luca Häseli is living his dream. On the stage of the world-famous Cabaret Moulin Rouge, the Fricktaler dances out of line.
Glitter, glamour, Moulin Rouge: the spectacular musical show is met with great enthusiasm worldwide, and tickets for the hot shows are in great demand. Every evening, the most renowned dancers from all over the world take to the Variété stage in the Montmartre district of Paris. Now the Swiss Luca Häseli is also part of the ensemble.
The Moulin Rouge has been the workplace of the native of Aargau for more than eight months. “The Moulin Rouge was my big dream,” says Luca Häseli proudly. The 30-year-old proves his skills on stage, slips into twelve different roles in one show and even convinces with interludes as a solo artist.
The Moulin Rouge was my big dream.
Häseli discovered her enthusiasm for dancing at a young age. In his mother’s dance school in Gipf-Oberfrick (AG) he hit the dance floor for the first time, followed by several years of weekly dance courses. “It wasn’t until I was 15 that I started dancing. I also took part in competitions there,” Häseli recalls.
Häseli didn’t decide to practice dancing professionally until she was 20 years old. “It was a big dream of mine to dance professionally. I then realized: now or never,” says the 30-year-old. Numerous performances follow, and Häseli is also responsible for the choreography of the SRF dance show “May I ask”.
In transit
The enthusiastic athlete is drawn to Paris together with his girlfriend Mya Carpenter. The two share the same passion. Because both Häseli and Carpenter get hold of one of the coveted places in the Moulin Rouge.
However, the couple does not want to stay in the French capital forever. Both see Paris as a stop on their journey together. “I just want to experience as much as possible in as many countries and on as many stages as possible,” says Luca Häseli.
The Basler trumps with his stamina, his mental and physical condition. He leaves nothing to chance. “I’m very conscientious. I want to be in top shape when I step onto the stage,” says the ambitious dancer. With his dance interludes, Luca Häseli takes the audience into a magical world of magic – the world of the Moulin Rouge.
