Three women, a revolution, and a whole lot of Peking Opera chaos. Tsui Hark's 1986 Hong Kong action-comedy is a kinetic, joyful caper with martial arts, slapstick, and unlikely heroines stealing the show.

Start with the exhibition or performance that interests you, then build the afternoon around it. Check the temporary exhibitions at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, or the performance programme at Palais Garnier. One show and time to talk about it over dinner makes a good plan.
Tell me that when you ask. I’d start with exhibitions, live music, or dance. For theatre, comedy, and talks, check the performance language and whether surtitles are available before booking. An English description doesn’t necessarily mean an English-language show.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
