Halet Sokout — The Falling Case

The piece

Directed by Mohammed Eid

What is the price of hiding behind rigid concepts that do not accept hard questions? What is the difference between a question culture and an answer culture? What education do we want in our schools?

A theatrical work about the meaning of liberal education, built on a real case: the trial of a teacher who taught her students Darwin's theory of evolution. Set in a courtroom, the play argues that it is reason and freedom of thought that are being attacked and curtailed, under the cover of religious atonement and political interest.
