Armand Goldman’s nightclub in The Birdcage is called The Birdcage.
Armand, played by Robin Williams, owns the South Beach nightclub with his partner Albert, played by Nathan Lane. The club’s drag performances and flamboyant atmosphere contrast with the conservative family visiting for a marriage-related meeting.
The film centers on Armand’s son Val, who wants to marry Barbara, the daughter of a conservative senator. To satisfy Barbara’s parents, Armand and Albert agree to temporarily present a more conventional household.
The Birdcage was directed by Mike Nichols and adapted from the French-Italian film La Cage aux Folles. Its title refers both to the nightclub and to the original stage and film tradition behind the story. The nightclub should not be confused with the Goldman family’s home, which is also central to the plot.
