PANAME COMEDY CLUB in Saint Martin, Caribbean Sea by MALKA ARCHITECTUREDecember 21st, 2020 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: MALKA ARCHITECTURE Located near the Canal Saint Martin in the center of the city, Le Paname is Paris’s most influential and legendary comedy club. Born in New-York and Chicago’s urban’s neglected zones, comedy clubs had reclaim those leftovers and turned them into hype alternative spots. As most of those industrial buildings where made of bricks, it naturally became the background signature of all the comedy-clubs in the United-States, and soon enough all around the world.

Le Paname Comedy-Club has been thought as the direct descendant of Italian’s renaissance stage set, allowing multiple perspectives; a mirror set up creates a reflection dynamic that stretches the stage into endless views.

It is an accumulation of single bricks units rather than a unique wall, a timeline of a progressive urban chaos, from alignment to total explosion. Moreover, it is the physical representation of the 4th wall’s dissolution, where urbanity blasts and mankind remain at the center of the scene’s vortex.
