Saturday, 11pm, Sammy's Kitchen
Rabble-rousers get ready to party in remembrance of the reactionary activities of Parisian protesters 40 years ago. The idea may not be as bizarre as it sounds, considering Hong Kong has been dubbed the city of protests - there were almost a dozen marches on May Day.
People power works, too. When half a million people took to the streets here in 2003, they succeeded in beating down proposed anti-sedition laws. The event eventually led to Tung Chee-hwa's early departure from the chief executive's office.
That was small beer compared to Paris in May 1968, when a series of protests and a general strike helped bring about fundamental change in French society that would eventually see an end to the right-wing government of Charles De Gaulle.
So what has that got to do with partying? We're not sure, though the dress code for an event on Saturday night is made for Che Guevera wannabes - hippies, cops, soldiers and striking workers - and designed to recreate the combative revolutionary spirit of 1968. Another reason to head along is the headline act, Fabrice Delcambre of the Stereo Heroes, a DJ double-act who hail from Marseille, France, and spin Gallic beats. The duo hail from the school of 'crunk' music, playing mash-up tracks from acts including The Toxic Avenger, The Bloody Beetroots and Donna Summer.
'We try to give love and pleasure to the audience,' the duo told an Australian interviewer recently. 'We like to disguise ourselves as pigs, pandas or elephants; we can definitely wear our underwear on top of our trousers, and have no trouble ending a DJ set naked. That's why you should be there.'
