Les Bains Paris
2018
Envisioning the nightclub environment as a hybrid place for transformation and ritual, Chants of Disorder invites artists and audiences to engage closely with each other in the twilight zone, and to shape the night as a moment for creative encounters and open futures. Les Bains, previously known as Les Bains-Douches, were a legendary club in the 1980s and 1990s scene: ‘There were other clubs in that golden age of Paris night life, but perhaps none of them were as era defining. Opened in 1978 on the site of a 19th-century bathhouse in the Third Arrondissement, Les Bains Douches made stars of its designer (Philippe Starck) and resident D.J. (David Guetta), who were unknown at the time. Joy Division recorded a live album in the basement, where Prince performed impromptu and Depeche Mode played years before selling out stadiums’ (Christine Adujua, ‘Les Bains, a Legendary Parisian Nightclub, Brought Back to Life’, The New York Times, 24 June 2015).
