Thomas Bangalter’s ‘CHIROPTERA’ project documentary is now available to watch.

The former Daft Punk member created a soundtrack for the dance performance — which featured 154 dancers and took place at the Paris Opera House last November — alongside a near six-hour extended version, ‘Chiroptera Matiere Premiere’, both released in June. 

The new documentary, Dans la lumière, peels back the curtain on the ambitious dance and music project via a 30-minute film directed by Vincent Lorca, which is available to stream on the YouTube page of French culture platform Arte.

Bangalter recently co-produced Lil Nas X’s new single, ‘Light Again!’, working on the track with writers and producers Take A Daytrip, Omer Fedi and Jasper Harris. 

At the start of the year, he also released his score for the Salvador Dalí-inspired film DAAAAAALÍ while 2023 saw the arrival of ‘Mythologies’, a 90-minute orchestral score for a ballet of the same name.

In 2024, it was revealed that the French artist had been working on the new album by ex-Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flür, alongside Juan Atkins and New Order’s Peter Hook.
