Freak Scene

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.

It's a great week for folk music lovers of all varieties, whether freak, psyche, lo-fi, experimental or weird, there's a string being strummed somewhere that will suit your tastes. A similar story for techno fans - it's not that often you get Carl Craig, Robert Hood, Theo Parrish and the Kompakt crew in your city over a single week.

In visual art, Cristian Andersen and Rosson Crow have exhibitions in town, and if dance is your thing the Théâtre de la Ville presents the work of Merce Cunningham.

See you next week.

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
