Le Pariscene: your weekend in the folding chair

Parisist regrets to inform that there will be no sunbathing for you this weekend.

This glorious spring weather is set to expire today. Saturday and Sunday will bring rain and high winds, but there is plenty in the way of passive (and indoor) enjoyment:

Théâtre

Written at the height of Shakespeare's powers, Cymbeline has been described variously as his most surprising, anarchic and moving play. Enthusiasts should run (or take the RER-B) to see it performed by the Cheek by Jowl theater company, named by Time Out as one of the "Ten Best" and by the Independent as "the most adventurous and successful theatre company in Britain."

Parisist was blown away by Declan Donnellan's staging and the dual performance from Tom Hiddleston. This outstanding production (in English with french subtitles) in Sceaux is only a 15-minute train ride away, so don't let the periphérique keep you away. Tickets are 26€ and available here.

Film

As Anna already mentioned, Le Printemps du Cinéma kicks off this Sunday with three days of reduced-fare films. A full list of the offerings is available here.

If the aforementioned is too Hollywood for your taste, head instead to the European Independent Film Festival. The Bibliothèque Nationale will screen a hundred of the best Euro-indie films before an audience of buffs and professionals. More info, including the program, is available here.


Music

Remember Throwing Muses? Well, Kirsten Hersh has been recording and playing music continuously since her post-punk band broke up 10 years ago. Her lyrics remain hallucinatory but her sounds are increasingly alt-country. Here's a clip from last week's concert in Birmingham.

Super-Scalper Monday will bring four sold-out concerts: Arcade Fire, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Damien Rice, and the Cowboy Junkies. Avoid missing out on future shows by checking our Google calendar regularly and our Advance Warning Listing below.
