A new multi-media show in English overleaps the boundaries of stage disciplines at one of the Parisian public avant-garde theatres, the Théâtre de La Ville. To a range of beats, British company, 1927, performs Golem. The title character isn't made of clay, but out of modelling plastic. Golem's on film. Are the actors?

The latest exhibit at Paris’ Quai Branly museum is called 'Masters of Sculpture from Côte d’Ivoire'. It's a very different kind of exhibit: instead of focusing on the sculptors of masks and statuettes as artisans in the service of ritual, they are here presented as artists with vision, with style, and with something to say.

On a grey, rainy afternoon in the French capital, Parisians were treated to a highly colourful mini-parade on the city streets: buses, trucks, cars and scooters decorated by some of Pakistan’s finest Tribal Truck Art painters.

Before Hollywood there was Louis and Auguste Lumière. An exhibit at the Grand Palais, Lumière ! Le cinéma inventé, looks back to the origins of film, which are here in France. The Lumière brothers invented a camera and projector 120 years ago, changing the course of moving picture history.

Just one week to go before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, RFI takes a look at film production in the Spanish-language regions of the world.

Le Corbusier is one of the world's best known architects and also one of the most controversial. To mark the half-century of his death in 1965, Paris's Pompidou Centre has opened an exhibition called Le Corbusier: Measures of man. It is not a retrospective but rather a look at Le Corbusier as a painter and artist. And it glosses over some of the more questionable aspects of the architect's life and politics.

In this week's Culture in France, RFI speaks to one of the founders of La Clef. It's one of the many and thriving independent cinema halls in Paris which make the French capital a Mecca of international film, new and old. At the same time, Isabelle Buron is a specialist and promoter of films from Latin America and Spain.

The legendary French singer Edith Piaf would have been 100 this year. To mark the anniversary, Paris’s national library, the BnF, launches a major exhibition in tribute to the street singer who became one of French music's most famous voices and a popular idol for a whole generation.

French musician Pierre Boulez is one of the greatest living classical composers. With 27 Grammy Awards to his name, that's more than Michael Jackson or Stevie Wonder. And while he's conducted the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic, he's had a more conflictual relationship with his native France. To mark his 90th birthday, the new Philharmonie de Paris is running a major exhibition showing a warmer, generous side to the enfant terrible of avant garde music. In particular it shows how much his composition owes to non-musicians such as painter Paul Klee and poet Stéphane Mallarmé.
