UNLEARNED LESSONS (2016)
Unlearned Lessons is a synthesis of theatre and indie rock music.
Four actors, five musicians, and twelve musical - text compositions, uniting a single story, encouraging performers and viewers to start learning the things that we have never been taught at school - where we were to be prepared for life, where we had to learn the essentials, more important than solving trigonometry equations, running short and long distances, forging historical dates. Actors of the Unlearnt lessons are trapped in a never-ending dive of their ambitions, fears, disobedience, old beliefs, whilst the heroes of the performance, for a short while, return to the eighth grade, which reminds them of the great gaps they have in their knowledge of the world and their inner world.
