Dancing and activism with La Bouche Cabaret at Midnight Shift 

La Bouche Cabaret keeps the activist queer scene shining bright with its new Midnight Shift clubbing nights. Created by Mascare (one of the cabaret's founders), this event aims to celebrate club music the way it was in the 70s, when you could listen to mixtapes and experience a true club vibe. What's on the agenda? Exclusive performances, electrifying mixes and an energized (and engaged) crowd, just like La Bouche itself. A brand new bi-monthly event not to be missed in the heart of Montreuil, at the fantastic Bal Chavaux venue.

Rediscovering Warhol at the Luxembourg Museum

We know him for his iconic Campbell's Soup Cans, his Marilyn Diptych, and his vibrant portraits of Judy Garland and Ingrid Bergman. A pioneer of Pop Art, Andy Warhol drew throughout his life, right until his final moments. Caricatures, portraits, advertisements… His range of expertise was remarkably broad, and he didn't hesitate to experiment with multiple techniques using stencils, collages, broken lines, and stamps. It's these many facets and his boundless talent that take center stage at the Luxembourg Museum, with the

nouvelle exposition : La ligne et l’image.

We're doing yoga to music with Chaussettes Claquées

A yoga session set to live music? That's what the Chaussettes Claquées collective is offering us this Sunday—the pros of yoga to music. But don't worry: no need to meet up in some dark room deep in Pigalle! This time around, we're getting together for a relaxed Sunday morning at Plantation, the amazing urban farm on a rooftop tucked away in the 18th arrondissement. There, we'll treat ourselves to some quality me-time with the intimate and enchanting pop sounds of Bleue, which we'll enjoy while flowing through the vinyasa poses led by Violaine Khal.
