Rocketship Entertainment to partner with Moulin Rogue® to publish graphic novels, manga + more!
Earlier this month, on July 2nd, Rocketship Entertainment announced a partnership with the iconic Parisian cabaret and entertainment brand Moulin Rogue® to publish novels, manga, and tabletop games set in and inspired by the venue.
The Moulin Rogue® was founded on October 6th, 1889, by Joseph Oller and Charles Zidler and is cited as the birthplace of the can-can dance (a symbol of Parisian celebration, creativity, and artistic audacity). It is still in operation today, over 136 years since it first opened its doors, captivating audiences from around the world and inspiring "creative collaborations and cultural projects".
“The Moulin Rouge isn't just a venue. It's a cultural touchstone immersed in glamour, spectacle, and the intoxicating magic of beauty and artistry," said Rocketship Entertainment CEO and Publisher Tom Akel. "That kind of iconic allure is exactly what makes for extraordinary storytelling and gameplay. We couldn't be more excited to explore every glittering stage, dazzling costume, and unforgettable performance its world can inspire.”
“Storytelling has always been part of what makes Moulin Rouge so inspiring,” said Eloïse Daire, Director of Development and Partnerships for the Moulin Rouge. “Every night on stage, we bring stories and emotions to life for audiences from around the world. With Rocketship Entertainment, we're excited to see our universe interpreted in a completely new way through graphic novels, manga and games, and to discover the original stories it will inspire.”
