"Standing at the forefront of European performance art, the Barbican Centre is an exciting arts venue with contemporary theater performances, exhibitions, and live music. Pushing the boundaries at every opportunity, the Barbican plays host to world-class directors, choreographers, collaborators, and artists. Tickets for performances vary in price and tend to book up in advance, so plan ahead of time. There are also film screenings with blockbusters, arthouse, animations, and foreign movies to choose from. Don’t worry if you’re traveling on a tight budget — there is always a free exhibition in the center’s public areas. If you do happen to have some spare cash, though, the Barbican has a range of discussions, performances, and workshops on offer." - MATADOR_NETWORK
