BWW Review: STUPID FUCKING BIRD at Théâtre Des Capucins

BWW Review: I C O N at Grand Théâtre
Last week, the Grand Theatre of Luxembourg welcomed the show I C O N, an interesting work reflecting on the role of beauty and the desire for recognition in the way we see ourselves and in how the individual reacts to major riddles of existence....
BWW Review: A SIMPLE PLACE at Kinneksbond
Perhaps the nostalgia of knowing that this is the last show we will be reviewing in 2018 is weighing in this statement, but when I walked out of the Kinneksbond two days ago, I truly felt like they had saved the best for last. On the 20th of December, our lovely venue hosted A Simple Space, a show b...
BWW Review: WIEN BLEIBT WIEN at Kinneksbond

BWW Review: ABIGAIL'S PARTY at Grand Théâtre
From the 27th to the 29th of November, the Grand Theatre delighted Luxembourg with the lovely play Abigail's Party. Comedies in English are not that common around the Grand Duchy, so it was no surprise to learn that all three performances were sold out weeks before the opening night....

BWW Review: LENZ at Kinneksbond
On the 15th of November, the Kinneksbond received an interesting version of Georg Buchner's Lenz, a pivotal text that helped shape the early decades of German modernism. Very few literary works from its time have focused so openly on depression, degrading mental health and the weight of loneliness a...
BWW Review: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN at Kinneksbond
Last night, we had the opportunity to watch the dress rehearsals of 'Young Frankenstein', the most recent project of Pirate Productions. Unlike most events we have covered so far in Luxembourg, this is the work of a company composed entirely by residents of the Grand Duchy, so we finally got a chanc...
BWW Review: POLITICAL MOTHER at Grand Théâtre
Hofesh Shechter's critically acclaimed Political Mother made a stop in Luxembourg last Tuesday and delighted the audience with a fantastic mixture of sound, light and movement. Shechter built on the success of his previous works, Uprising (2006) and In Your Rooms (2007) and provided a unique take in...
BWW Review: OTHELLO at Grand Théâtre
One of the most renowned plays in human history. It is hard to meet someone who has not at least heard of the name Othello and, while it is not an obvious favourite among the Shakespearean classics, it does focus on topics that speak directly to our hearts. Luxembourg was, therefore, lucky to host A...
BWW Review: LA TRAVIATA at Grand Théâtre
When they tell you that Verdi's La Traviata is coming to town, you cannot expect anything other than a sold out show. The acclaimed theatre and visual artist Robert Wilson was responsible for the staging and lighting and, as usual, he helped to create a show that was absolutely unique....
BWW Review: ROMAIN SOUCHON at Kinneksbond
There are some days when you feel like playing the piano is the easiest thing in the world.

There are times when you watch a per...

BWW Review: THE BEGGAR'S OPERA at Grand Théâtre
Luxembourg has welcomed a variety of interesting shows over the last months, but it has been a while since the public had a chance to see something as great as this version of The Beggar's Opera. This famous masterpiece devised by John Gay and Johann Christoph Pepuschm, who some claim to have define...

BWW Review: KAELO at Rockhal
The concert that everyone has been talking about. On July 9th, Luxembourg welcomed for the first time the Icelandic rock band Kaleo, which has gained significant international attention since 2016. Iceland is really making a name for itself in the music scene, and Kaleo is clearly one of the major p...
BWW Review: JULIUS CAESAR at Bourglinster Castle
Luxembourg is not known its Shakespearean theatre, so you know you will catch the attention of the public when you advertise that Julius Caesar is coming to town. On 25 June, the castle of Bourglinster welcomed the TNT Theatre Company for a one-day-only rendition of the famous play. A thought-provok...
BWW Review: FÊTE DE LA MUSIQUE at Luxembourg City
