The article highlights a unique event happening at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg, where a staged trial titled "Trial Against Germany" is taking place. This process is aimed at examining the controversial issue of a potential ban on the far-right political party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). Directed by Milo Rau, the program includes actual lawyers, experts, and political figures who will engage in discussions over five sessions without a pre-written script, allowing for a fluid examination of the political and legal questions surrounding the proposed ban. In a twist, it is Germany itself that stands trial, symbolizing the broader implications for democratic governance in the face of extremist politics.
