    • Synopsis
    • Friedrich Nietzsche’s Zarathustra returns in the shape of a female travelling teacher seeking shelter at the Alpine chalet of a bourgeois family. The mother rejects the stranger outright. The son’s girlfriend does not understand her teaching. The father finds it trite as he has heard it all before. The son, however, is encouraged by the teacher’s words. He feels pressured into a career as a lawyer by his dominant father. All the son really wants is to become a writer and “to be free”. But the mix of philosophical aspiration and petty-bourgeois attitudes proves explosive.

      All roles are played by shop-window mannequins.
