Amid the barricaded buildings and expropriated businesses of Saint-Laurent Boulevard, the cabaret’s marquee still shines brightly. And even if customers are becoming increasingly rare, in the dressing rooms and on the Cléo stage, the show goes on. Here we meet the dragqueens and variety artists who embody the spirit of this “glitter bar”, where something of past grandeur remains.
