Au Chinatown
in development
Nestled in the heart of Belleville, Paris, is an establishment that looks like a palace. You come here to eat, but above all to sing. Chinatown is a restaurant/karaoke bar. Young people find it an outlet, a place to get together and party with friends and colleagues. But for René, Cathy, Francis, Oumou, Richard and a few other regulars, the stakes are quite different. Chinatown gives them access to a stage: the chance to become someone else, to vibrate in the eyes of an audience, to exist. To move from the shadows to the light.
