On November 28, 2025, Barbara Butch will take over the Petit Palais for "Chez Barbara," a queer, festive, and inclusive night in partnership with HBO Max.

On Friday, November 28, 2025, the Petit Palais will be transformed into a huge dance floor to host "Chez Barbara," an exceptional evening created by Barbara Butch in collaboration with HBO Max. Combining art, music, and freedom, this unique experience celebrates collective joy and queer spirit in one of Paris's most iconic museums.

Open to all, Chez Barbara is aimed at lovers of partying, culture, and freedom. The LGBTQIA+ community, electronic music enthusiasts, and those curious to discover an immersive experience in the heart of a historic monument will find their place here. Children and those sensitive to loud noise or crowds are less likely to enjoy this event.

In the 1900 gallery of the Petit Palais, visitors will discover a unique setting where heritage architecture blends with the visual worlds of HBO's cult series. The event combines artistic performance and inclusive celebration in an atmosphere of kindness, freedom, and creativity.

Barbara Butch will be joined by artists Habibi Sly and Camille Doe for an exclusive set, transforming the museum into a giant dance floor. The DJ will unveil an exclusive French version of Trixie Mattel's queer hit, produced especially for HBO Max.

The Petit Palais, a jewel of Belle Époque architecture, serves as the setting for this unique evening where art dialogues with celebration. Under the museum's glass roof and gilding, Barbara Butch imagines an immersive space where queer identity and pop culture come together in a luminous and inclusive scenography.

An icon of the queer scene and ambassador for the body positivity movement, Barbara Butch embodies partying as an act of resistance and love. A key figure in Parisian nightlife, she made a lasting impression at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and is preparing to take on the role of artistic director for Nuit Blanche 2026. This partnership with HBO Max marks the beginning of a cultural collaboration that is set to continue in 2026.
