Theater Performance "Chanel No. 1"

"Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. Beauty comes when fashion achieves both of these goals." So said, it seems, perhaps the most mysterious fashion designer in history, a ruthless innovator who broke stereotypes and fought fiercely for true art - Coco Chanel.

Her life is full of paradoxes. She could not boast noble origins, yet she used to move in royal and aristocratic circles. She was born in poverty, yet she managed to reach such heights that she became a patron and gave the world no small number of masterpieces. She created what a true woman today cannot do without. She made women’s rights a matter to be reckoned with and fought for equality with men.

That is why the creators of the performance believe that Coco Chanel’s story deserves attention. Although her life is veiled in many fictions and mysteries, this story resembles a truth one wants to believe in.
