A Spectacle about the 2019 Teachers' Strike by the Social Theater Lab/Theater Educators Association. An experimental online form combining zooma, video art and participation.
School facade covered with banners. Crowds gathering in the center of Warsaw for the main protest. The tense face of the Minister of Education, newspaper headlines. That's how much most male and female citizens remember of the April days in 2019. Snapshots, images, snatches of sentences, slogans, impressions. The Teachers' Strike covered more than 70 percent of educational institutions.
What was it for the teachers themselves - those who and who joined it and those who did not? What were those days, emotions, meanings and situations like? What knowledge did it provide to those who make up the school - also pupils, parents, headmasters and officials? What lessons did the teachers themselves - those who protested and those who did not participate themselves - take away? What was missing from its demands? What did it bring to the school, what traces did it leave?
