Eingeschlossene Gesellschaft von Jan Weiler

In the organizer's words:

The story takes place on a Friday afternoon in the staff room of a municipal grammar school. Five teachers are still sitting there for various reasons and are more or less on the same page. Then the father of one of the pupils interrupts the dreary scene and demands that the teachers discuss his son's endangered Abitur admission. And when they refuse, he locks them up without further ado and forces them to hold an unconventional report conference.

As in Sartre's "Closed Society", Weiler's "teachers without escape" are condemned to deal with each other. The bourgeois facades soon crumble and personal abysses open up.

In the end, the question arises as to whether these people are even entitled to judge the pupils.
It's funny and terrible at the same time when the quirks, misconduct and character flaws of the seemingly exemplary teaching staff come to light: A black comedy as social satire. With a teachers' room as a nightmare.

After the magnificent film adaptation by Sönke Wortmann, now at the Theater k der Kulturetage.
