“The Lesson” is an adaptation of the play of the same name by Eugen Ionescu and presents the fate of female students who, once they reach their teacher's class, become victims, gradually transforming into his puppets. This performance speaks about alienation, depersonalization, about the wall of communication between teacher and student, and in general, between people, about the absurdity of daily life and language, form without substance. It attacks intellectual presumptuousness, the monotony of mechanized life devoid of spirituality, which can lead a person to dehumanization and brutalization.
