Spring is here! We take advantage of it to take a stroll in our favorite corners of Paris, soak up the sunshine during our lunch on a terrace, and most importantly, we end the day beautifully by going to see a show in one of the city's theaters or halls. Don't know where to go? Don't worry, we've selected the best ones for you. And there's something for everyone's taste!
Imagine a milonga in Buenos Aires, where on the dance floor of a bar, three actors dance and provoke each other. Juan has loved, danced, and felt despair. Jeanne wants to learn, she is drunk with desire. Ida sings and the bandoneon plays. All three traverse the history of their country, its wars and myths, its military dictatorship, its rebirths, with an original soundtrack signed by Philippe Cohen Solal, co-founder of the Gotan Project. A beautiful promise of a text by novelist, screenwriter, and director Santiago Amigorena, directed by Marcial Di Fonzo Bo.
