Come visit Madame Prospère’s bar “Der Grüne Kakadu” in Paris anno 1789. Specializing in offering guests a glimpse into what revolutionary Paris might look and feel like, Madame Prospère has assembled a talented group of actors who pose as bandits, thieves, and revolutionaries to provide visiting aristocrats with the pleasant “thrill” that the possibility of their demise instills. But as events in Paris take a serious turn on July 14th, 1789, the boundaries between performance and reality, between history and performance, and between the private and the political begin to blur.
