How "The Appeal" Uses a 1936 Trial to Challenge Modern Polarisation

What happens when you put Shakespeare on trial to navigate a modern crisis? Inspired by a fascinating 1936 event where refugee artists staged a mock tribunal over The Merchant of Venice, director Orly Noa Rabinyan’s interactive play The Appeal transforms the audience into an active courtroom jury whose votes dictate the ending. In an era dominated by echo chambers and rigid taking of sides, this unique production champions "radical listening" and internal conflict, inviting us to step into a safe space for difficult conversations and trade our comfortable certainties for much-needed question marks.

The crackdown on the ‘dog mafia’ in Luxembourg

Have you ever wondered why the dogs belonging to street beggars lie motionless for hours, wrapped in blankets even in warm weather? An activist and former animal welfare inspector, together with like-minded individuals, launched Petition No. 3921, which has caused a stir in Luxembourg. This is an honest discussion about how to distinguish genuine need from a cruel ‘business’ preying on animals, why the police cannot always help, and what loopholes in the law allow four-legged friends to be exploited for the sake of alms.
