"Which of you loves me most?" King Lear asks his three daughters, Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia, intending to divide his kingdom fairly among them after their sworn declarations of love. But he miscalculates: his beloved daughter, Cordelia, rejects the love contest and demands honesty instead. Lear—beside himself with rage—banishes her and divides his land between his other two daughters. The condition: he and his retinue must be fed and housed by one of them each month. But Goneril and Regan quickly tire of this demand, want to be rid of him, and seize the first opportunity to depose him. The once great king, reduced to bare human existence, descends further into madness, abandoned by everyone—except his court jester. Then news arrives from France that the exiled Cordelia has raised an army to rescue him and fight against her own sisters. An unprecedented spiral of violence is set in motion. At its end, everyone is dead. Almost.

Current perspectives on feminist resistance in Iran

On September 13, 2022, Jîna Mahsa Amini, a Kurdish Iranian woman , was arrested by the so-called morality police for allegedly not wearing her headscarf correctly. Two hours after arriving at the police station, she was hospitalized and died a few days later from head injuries. A wave of protests then swept across Iran. "Jin, Jiyan, Azadî" / Woman - Life - Freedom / Frau - Leben - Freiheit (Woman - Life - Freedom) is the old slogan that protesters worldwide chanted in the streets and which now stands for the idea of ​​a feminist revolution.

Aside from the biological changes and resulting pension gaps, pregnancy is one of the greatest challenges and miracles the female body performs. Is this kind of work actually worth paying for?

Milch & Schuld (UA)

This is what the famous poet Heinrich Heine writes in his verse epic Germany. A Winter's Tale , when he travels to his beloved, yet hated, Germany in 1843 to visit his mother. He has already been living in French exile for twelve years and longs for his homeland: Heine, the Jew, the Christian, the German, the Frenchman, the Romantic, the eroticist, the ironic vanquisher of Romanticism – and the political writer.

Jammertal Rest Area (UA)

The clock is ticking, and on the slippery political stage, every maneuver seems possible. The self-proclaimed "democratic center" is tearing down firewalls, multi-billionaires are using chainsaws to dismantle government agencies, academia, and international aid, and then bask in the glory.
