The fourth “ Humour pour la paix” (Humour for Peace) begins today at the  Abbaye Neumünster.

The past three years have seen a host of international comedians take the stage at the abbey with the aim to make people laugh of course, but also to think about the world and to help promote peace.

To open the festival Thursday night, and also playing Friday, a young Luxembourg comedian , Eugenie Anselin, interprets "Attention, chantier en cours!".

On Saturday 13th March your're in for a treat with a performance in English by “Conflict relief”  of "The Arab, the Jew and the Chicken"  It is a fun, fast and feisty exploration of the Middle East conflict. A comedy sketch show that weaves together culture, identity and the realities of every-day life in the region... and chickens too.

Conflict relief, is a London-based Arab and Israeli theatre collaboration.  They may not have any answers to the region's problems, but their original, jointly scripted, surreal show suggests humour could be a useful tool.

Tickets cost EUR 20 and can be ordered from the website: www.luxembourgticket.lu

“ Humour pour la paix” (Humour for Peace) runs from 11th to 21st March.  For full details visit the  Abbaye de  Neumünster website: Click here
