Pest, IX, Ferenc körút (M3), 3 min

Martin Zimmermann's crazy world's in a spin and watching it is the most sensible thing you can do tonight. Revolving cardboard cut-out theatre is soundtracked by DJ Dimitri de Perrot's dual turntable 'live' set. Weird and Swiss.

Also worth a shot...

Irish Táncház
Fővárosi Művelődési Ház [map] 5th January, 19:00, 700Ft

Perzsa Suttyók & Delej (Concert)
After Music Club, 5th January, 21:00, free

So even if you don't go to their gig, (which, having heard Delej's version of Purple Haze, is perhaps for the best), you can at least be their Myspace friends. Think how happy they'll be!

Vicky Cristina Barcelona / Burn After Reading (Films)
Cinema listings here.
Looks like it's still one of these two as far as mainstream cinema goes. Woody Allen or the Cohen brothers; you choose. Reviews here and here.
