A tale that paints the portrait of two twin brothers from a poor background who will become at the end of the 20th century one of the greatest fortunes in Great Britain. But when they have triumphed over everything, what happens when, in 1990, these two billionaires settled on the Channel Islands of Brecqhou want to inherit their respective daughters?
Through their self-taught journey, it is a hollow story of capitalism that is told before our eyes. It is also the exceptional destiny of two stigmatized kids who become cold and selfish monsters at the heart of our democratic societies.
From 12 years old – At 7 p.m., reservations here

The Marais Theater presents the second show by Matthieu Penchinat who asks himself the question Who am I running from?

A very annoyed yogi master, a psychologist who listens to himself speak, a radio host whom no one calls… These are some of the characters who inhabit Matthew Penchinat ! He offers you through a physical, absurd and clownish humor a monochrome of characters who take you on a crazy inner wandering…

Passing through the 13th arrondissement, stop at the Vincent Tiercin Gallery for Spotkanie
An artistic encounter between the works of Theo Lopez (1989), spearhead of today’s Graffuturism, and Ladislas Kijno (1921-2012), master of lyrical abstraction of the 1950s/60s. Théo Lopez recalls that he became familiar with the painting of Ladislas Kijno following the major retrospective, La grande utopia de Kijno, which was held in 2017 at the Manège Royal in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. In this exhibition, associated with the Collectif du 9e Concept, he had already been inspired by the man who is called “the spiritual father of street art in France”, taking as a reference his famous series of paintings Balises for Angela Davies from 1971, preserved at the Le Touquet Museum.

To accompany this weekend in music…
It is with the Canadian artist Jasmine who released his first solo album In The Wild on June 3 on the ANTI-Records label.
As the frontman of Weaves, Jasmyn has been on tour for almost ten years. Over the course of their career, the band has been nominated twice for the Polaris Prize, twice for the JUNO Award for Alternative Album of the Year and twice for the SOCAN Songwriting Award. The quartet has performed around the world, including at the Glastonbury Festival, and their work has received critical acclaim from the press, including Pitchfork, NPR, The Guardian and Elton John’s Rocket Hour. When Jasmyn leaves the band in 2020, it’s an opportunity for her to slow down and build her own space, away from the hustle and bustle of touring and the hustle and bustle of the big city. Leaving Toronto, she moved to Hamilton, where the calm that emanates from Lake Ontario and a sensitive and thoughtful way of life encourage her to breathe and immerse herself in the great outdoors. Listening to her sensations, barefoot in the grass, carried by the feeling of freedom offered by nature, Jasmyn then designs a portal for new energies and new possibilities.
Artistik Rezo wishes you a great weekend!
