Ever wondered if a rally truck can steal the show as Romeo? In a remote Estonian quarry, Shakespeare takes the wheel—literally—as “Romeo and Juliet” is reimagined with pickups, fire engines, and a drama-fueled cement mixer. No dialogue, just headlights and hydraulics. Absurd? Absolutely. Somehow moving? You bet. Curious where diesel meets desire? Read on.

Tucked inside a backyard shed in Alberta, author Allison McBain is hand-writing 34 books in 34 weeks—not to beat AI in a word count sprint, but to remind us what makes human storytelling unrepeatable. Forget soulless summaries; McBain’s marathon of messy, lived-in fiction is a wry answer to the question: can originality survive the chatbot age?

There’s something about Chicago’s Cloud Gate—the Bean—that practically begs for urban legend, but the “man trapped inside” saga takes the cake (and maybe the pizza). Is it earnest performance art, internet prank, or a mirror reflecting our appetite for the bizarre? Take a closer look at the myth, the protest, and why we’re enchanted by what might—or might not—lurk behind the chrome.

Can Shakespearean tragedy survive a cast of construction vehicles—and can we survive the curiosity left by a story with no details?

Sometimes, the strangest show is the one that never quite appears.

When politicians don sanitary pads as face masks in a legislative protest, you know you’ve entered the territory where performance art meets policy. In Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, DAP veterans sent an eyebrow-raising message about local representation—absorbing attention with props few would predict.

When a ten-metre sculpture of crushed cars atop a cedar trunk lands in your neighborhood, you expect strong opinions—but perhaps not a full-scale feud over pigeons and paint corrosion. Vancouver’s Trans Am Rapture returns, sparking fresh debate about public art, city process, and who gets final say over local scenery (and, apparently, airborne avian tenants). Curious what happens next?
