Alisa Grebenshchikova: ‘If you need a home, poetry will create it’

On 4 October, Alisa Grebenshchikova — an actress, director and creator of poetry programmes — will be performing in Luxembourg. She is being brought over by LuxEureka a.s.b.l. We spoke to Alisa about why poems written a century ago sound as if they were written yesterday, what poetry offers to those living far from home, and how to read poetry with children so that they retain their command of the Russian language.

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.
