SUMMARY:Un monde merveilleux: dir Giulio  Callegari (2024)
DESCRIPTION:A sharp\, witty\, very urban contemporary comedy of relationships.

SUMMARY:The Jury Experience – Death by AI: Who Pays the Price?
DESCRIPTION:True immersive theatre: the audience is the jury at the heart of a live trial – hear the testimonies\, consider the evidence\, weigh the arguments … and deliver a verdict. The case also seems very now: a driverless car is involved in a fatal incident\, raising issues about responsibility and accountability that will surely become much more common in future. The result should be an entertaining and engaging way to explore technology\, ethics\, and decision-making. \nThere are shows at 5pm and 9pm. It last about an hour.

SUMMARY:Baarah
DESCRIPTION:A “gripping” Hindi adaptation of Reginald Rose’s classic courtroom drama film 12 Angry Men\, reimagined for contemporary India. Twelve jurors have to decide the fate of a young man accused of a brutal crime: inside the jury room\, personal biases\, social divides\, prejudice\, ego\, and conscience collide as one juror dares to question the verdict everyone else seems ready to deliver … Adapted and directed by Gautam Goenka\, and clearly something of a passion project for the Junction’s main man\, Baarah promises “an intense\, thought-provoking theatrical experience that explores justice\, morality\, and the power of standing alone for what you believe in”. \nIn Hindi\, with English subtitles. \nThere are further performances on 27 and 28 June.
