Groovy Disco is a series that challenges us to dive into the glamorous atmosphere of the parties organised back in the 70s, 80s or 90s, spiced up with sparkling flavors of the year 2000. Its daring musical flashbacks are further intensified by the special light design and the video-mapping that extends the scenery to a futuristic visual dimension.
