Over the centuries, Goethe's 'Faust' has been adapted in all sorts of ways: operatic pieces, movies, song and even comics. Now a gamer has turned the 13-hour-long play into an 80-minute production on an app. Showcase's Nursena Tuter was sceptical it could work, so she sat down with Peter Lee, the developer of Being Faust - Enter Mephisto.

Busshi is the name given to Japanese artists specializing in the making of Buddha sculptures. Busshi's belong to a 1400-year-old tradition, a tradition they are trying to keep alive in modern-day Japan.

It is safe to say that no other ancient Greek myth has left a legacy as influential as the Trojan War. The epic, told and retold for generations, seems to have everything you want in a good story: a great war, revenge, love, despair, and of course, tragedy. But is this the reason why the 3000-year-old myth is still relevant to this day? Showcase's Hatice Meryem Gelgor went in search of answers in a new London exhibition.

Right before he passed away in 2016, singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen told his son, Adam, to "finish the songs we started" in their final collaboration. Now, the music world has another gem to celebrate.

At a time when tensions are skyrocketing between Pakistan and India, one man's music has been able to bring the rival sides together. He is Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. He sings Sufi devotional music called Qawwali. Its appeal just sold out Wembley Stadium. Sharaz Ali sat down with him just before the concert to get his story.
