Histoires d’artistes by Nino Paolozzi-DezonPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

In residence, in concert, at Paloma, during the day, in the evening, on tour... opportunities are created for encounters and stories, sometimes even improbable ones!

Avec chemise, sans pantalon by LabZeliePaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

Shirt on, pants off

Mac de Marco needed to do some laundry before his show. His laundry was hanging up. It had started to dry but the time of the concert was coming soon and his pants were still soaked... Never mind, Mac de Marco climbed on stage in his underwear in front of a laughing audience!

Sous les projecteurs by Mateo SanchezPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

In the spotlight

Although Clara Luciani can fill the Graaande Salle with a snap of her fingers nowadays, she made a lightning appearance on stage during the This Is Not A Love Song festival, and we were able to meet her a moment later, partying as a festivalgoer!

Métier passion by Nino Paolozzi-DezonPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

A passion for craft

As with every concert, apprentice photographers are included so they can practice live photography. This is the case of Nino who, after sharing photos of Disiz, was contacted by the artist's production: Disiz himself loved his photos and wanted to use them!

À un cheveu près by Damien De CagnyPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

By a hair's breadth

In residence at Paloma to work on his new show and his tour, Stromae had the idea for his famous "male female" wig that featured in the music video for "Toutes les mêmes". And he designed it immediately after...at Paloma!

Coupez ! by Yoann GaliottoPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

Cut!

Some decisions are difficult to make, while others can be made in a split second: just before she took to the stage, Juliette Armanet was unhappy with her bangs... so she cut her hair herself with a pair of office scissors!

God save Christine ! by Alexandra Badmington - PhotoDzicPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole

God save Christine!

A few years ago, Christine & the Queens had freshly landed at Paloma's low-cost "discoveries" program... Shortly after the date was announced, the Club's concert was moved to the Grande Salle, where it had the dazzling success we all know about!
