Seven and a half years after the attack on November 13, 2015, and several months after the arrival of a new team, the Bataclan wants to recover the public and the artists and find their rock identity, reports the parisian in its Friday edition.
“We are going to write a new page in its history”, affirms Nicolás Dupeux, general director of the room. “We are going to return to the rock spirit of the room, to its tradition of impertinence, freedom, daring”.
Rock will make a big comeback starting next school year. “The rock producers who no longer came, because they felt less in tune with the positioning of the previous teams, are excited,” says Nicolás Dupeux.
New visual identity
To confirm this return, the room will change “the graphic card, the signage and the logo, in stenciled and black mode, with the mention Free spirit since 1865“. “And we began to redo the dressing rooms of the artists in the same spirit”, specifies one.
The Bataclan has also appointed a new director billed as a “rock kid.” “I really want to defend [la salle] and see it again as before, as open and festive as possible”, he specifies when Parisian. The aim is also to bring back the artists who have left the venue since the attack, adds Nicolas Dupeux:
“There is a bigger job of discussion and persuasion for them to come back, but there are never any negative comments after the concerts. And on the viewer’s side, you notice that time is doing its job. Last year, we filled the room. at 85%”.
The new generation has “less apprehension about coming”, concludes Nicolas Dupeux: “The young people who are 18 years old today were 11 years old then. They know that something has happened but they have not seen the photos that we have seen”. You’ve seen […] In the new generation of artists, this is also the case. 2023 is off to a good start.”
