The Art of Balance

Welcome to The Parisian, your source for what's on this week, and this weekend, in Paris. Looking for clubs, gigs, art shows, exhibitions, film, dance and theatre in Paris? We sort through hundreds of events every week and bring you the cream of the crop.

Guestlist alert! We have some pairs of tickets to the Sparklehorse/Fennesz gig on Sunday - make sure you subscribe before Thursday, when we'll be sending out the details...

A good week all round - plenty of music, plenty of visual arts and more than a little performance in there too this week. Whether it's the stunning black and white images of John Goodman, Peter Suschitzky and Chris McCaw, the unhinged crowd dynamics of Lucky Dragons, the revolutionary language of movement in the work of Martha Graham, Norman Palm's naive and finely crafted songs, the brilliance of Varese, the earth shattering liquid funk of Bukem, Marky and DJ SS or the intensely emotive textures of Sparklehorse and Fennesz, there's something for everyone out there this week.

See you next week!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
