Taxi Girl

Taxi Girl is an expression which refers to the paid dance partners that became popular at the beginning of the 20th century. The play is set in a historical love triangle, starring a taxi girl and two heavyweights of universal literature, Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin. Both writers used obscenity and eroticism to introduce delightful chaos into well-thinking minds. This fiction is the result of the fascination for those artists who fought against censorship, but also of the women who did so with their own vital energy. What was the name of the taxi girl? What did the voice of that female of dubious reputation that rebelled against her fetish and parade condition? Both she and Anaïs, of whom she was a lover in the winter of 1931, were women ahead of their time … but also of ours.
