Disco Night to Enhance the Day
Maybe not so much in the DPRK. Discos do not happen in North Korea. Rather, dancing is traditional and reserved. Although karaoke bars do exist!
This is therefore an artist’s impression of what they imagine a ‘disco’ to be. To throw your moves. Whether Russian style ‘gopak’ or awkward ‘Dad dancing’…
The disco floor is a tapestry of what appears to be colored linoleum tiles as opposed to a light floor.
