Abstract

This study aims to bring into evidence a sensitive dimension of educational
practices, through a non-standardized style of knowledge production. The
text-script permeates an actress’ artistic performance while unveiling the
stage-classroom where teaching is performed, embodying contemporary
existential dilemmas pertaining to working with education. The exercise
of fictional writing, as proposed by Bottoni and Costa, sets up the
methodological strategy that interweaves this study. This strategy aims to reveal paradoxes of a professional practice in face of the predominant nihilism
that takes the actors’ bodies, in the context defined by Han as “society of
the weariness”. How to develop resistance movements, where just weariness
seems to exist? How to build up escape lines, when everything seems to
invite to relinquishment? These are the questions suggested throughout the
plot. They call for the analysis of education in times that not only invite to
give up, as also incite resistances.
