💨 Abstract
In the 1950s, a transgender entertainer named Bambi (born Jean-Pierre Pruvot) performed at Paris's Carrousel de Paris cabaret, continuing a subversive tradition that emerged post-World War II. The troupe's glittering performances affirmed queer identity after the Nazis had decimated Europe's LGBTQ+ community.
