Description
abstractSynopsis:
The play adapts Eugène Ionesco's The Lesson (1951) to examine contemporary education system. It tells of a private, continuous lesson program between the Professor and the female Pupil. The Pupil takes the Professor's lessons at his place to prepare for her PhD exam. As the lesson progresses, the Professor grows more and more angry by Pupil's “ignorance” and therefore murders her. The Professor's Maid tries to interrupt the program from time to time but fails to stop the tragic incident. At the end of the play, the Maid greets the new Pupil as the door-bell rings. Performed beside a bar in a café, the stage design is simple: one table, two chairs. No props are staged when Professor murders the Pupil). Actors embody the criminal incident to stage a representation that simulates the real.
