Let's groove through the Disco exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris

If we say "d...When you think of disco, you immediately picture bell-bottom pants, disco balls, and John Travolta swinging his hips under a red spotlight. But wait, there's more! Because the latest exhibition at the Philharmonie de Paris, Disco, I’m Coming Out, proves that this movement is not just about glitter; it's a cultural revolution that shook America in the 1970s. Right from the entrance, the vibe is set. The staging plunges us into the excitement of legendary New York clubs like Paradise Garage or Studio 54. Neon lights, catwalk-print carpets, and a soundtrack mixed by Dimitri From Paris make it impossible not to get swept away by the hypnotic groove of disco. It’s a nostalgic tribute and so much more: an invitation to be free, to be yourself, and to celebrate life through dance.
