Zénith de Paris Foyer Before the Show

4 October 2017 · Paris

The foyer at Zénith de Paris fills up in the hour before doors open to the floor. Pendant lights drop from black steel rafters; the bar's neon sign cuts red against blue-lit concrete. Crowds gather at the bar counter and around the stairwell, drinks in hand, the energy still loose before the music tightens it. The venue does the work before the first note lands.
