About This Event
Disco Bambino is a digital-archaeology project that documents the disco culture that developed in Italy between 1977 and 1983. At the National Black Theatre the project presents its research through DJ-led electronic programming, foregrounding archival material and the period’s production and club practices to situate that moment in European dance music history.
About An Italian Disco Revolution
At National Black Theatre, *An Italian Disco Revolution* brings Disco Bambino’s digital-archaeology project into a New York City context. The program traces Italian disco’s brief, influential run from 1977 to 1983, using DJ-led electronic sets shaped by research and archival traces of studios, clubs, and independent labels. Images and documents surface as evidence, not decoration, situating sound inside its social and industrial conditions. It also offers a quiet corrective to the Anglo-American storyline that often defines disco history.
