REPORTAGE
The return of dancing evenings? With the deconfinement, more and more French people are meeting to party in the parks or at home. Thursday evening, for the first time since March, the Kilowatt organized an "unconfined clubbing" evening in Vitry-sur-Seine. In the world according to the coronavirus, even if we can still party the sanitary rules are strict: the deckchairs on the gravel are separated by one meter, just like the twenty tables in the room, where ten people maximum can find your way around.

Strict health rules
Above all, there is a formal ban on strolling and going in front of the stage. If you stay in your place, you can still dance standing and there are no constraints on wearing a mask. The 200 spectators, 30 years old on average, are warned of the instructions upon their arrival by playful posters like "hydro-alcollisme, that is good!" An event organizer regularly reminds each of them. No question of mixing with the other groups: "if you came in pairs, you stay in pairs".

But the music is loud and intoxicating: the ambiance of the festive nights was lacking. Some kiss, kiss, chat with the neighbors. Quickly, fiery people dance in front of the stage ... difficult to remain static. "In this kind of evening, after a certain number of drinks, it's more complicated," admits a reveler. "You have to know how to measure yourself and be careful enough".

The evening ended at midnight. "We are not in a normal party context either," said an organizer, because in the life before the coronavirus, these events dragged on until the early hours.
