About event

Ubiquitous violence and twisted patterns can awaken the monster in each of us.

An inexperienced teacher, or rather an educator, frustrated by his previous job, is put in charge of a disturbed and, in everyone's eyes, maladaptive, violent young man. The two of them are alone in the classroom and it's an intense battle of words and will. The tutor is the boy's last resort. Either the teacher will find a way to find a way to an uprooted boy living after his mother's suicide with only his grandmother, learn to communicate with him, direct him, or he will be expelled from school permanently.

Current and engaging analysis of parenting and responsibility and finding ways out of his own confusion in adolescence and adulthood. Young people, especially in puberty, are not a problem and a burden, but looking for "children" with needs for trust, love and security. It's a game about hope and the damage one does with the wrong attitude or wrong decision.

And why play this game now? Even half a year ago, in these parts, it would have been possible to consider the text exciting, but very far removed from today's problems. Based on the tragedy at the Faculty of Philosophy, it is necessary to play and talk about such things.
