The University of Luxembourg stages Die Dreigroschenoper by Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill in the Grand Théatre in Luxembourg City.

The receptions are closed, the campus shop is rather empty, the few remaining students take refuge in the library (still open until 3am). With nobody else around, I’m afraid that, instead of painting eggs, the UKC bunnies will decide to take over the campus. Or maybe they already have…
