The Parisian
 

Different Envelopes.

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.

Plenty of envelopes being pushed this week, whether it's exploring the outer reaches of the human ear's capabilities with Repulsive Society, taking psyche-folk to new places with Akron/Family or moving political structures with Tinariwen. It's not just sonic envelopes, either: Pina Bausch continues to originate with her watery creation Vollmond, Wang Bing justifies his shining reputation in documentary film and the 10th arrondissement is transformed into a giant photo gallery.

See you out there!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
