Discover the works of Noah Beyen at The Bridge Gallery

This is the first solo exhibition of painter Noah Beyene at The Bridge Gallery, titled Making an Impression, showcasing a new series of never-before-seen works. The artist immerses himself, both face and body, into the snowy landscapes of northern Sweden, leaving behind ephemeral impressions that challenge cultural belongings within a defined landscape. Born to a Swedish mother and an Ethiopian father, Noah Beyene explores through his work how identities are negotiated within inherited structures.

We're going to see the premiere of the new Danish phenomenon at the Max Linder cinema!

The French premiere of The Last King, the latest release from Danish director Anders Thomas Jensen, will take place this Friday at Max Linder Panorama as part of the PIFF (Paris International Fantastic Film Festival). What's the story? Upon his release from prison, a bank robber reunites with his brother, the only person who knows where his stash is hidden. But this brother, convinced he's the reincarnation of John Lennon, takes him on an absolutely wild journey. Blending tender comedy and thriller, these two brothers' struggles will sweep you into an adventure that's both absurd and deeply human.

What's the plot of this totally wacky immersive play? A surprise health inspection (obviously) in a restaurant, where all you need to do is participate, drink, and eat! And if you can't make it this Sunday, don't worry— the troupe will be back in January.
