HOW TO LEARN examines the relationship between education, privilege, and knowledge in a provocative performance piece inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche’s lectures on education. A richly detailed immersive sound environment subverts the traditional lecture form and provides the backdrop to a narrative that juxtaposes the banalities of contemporary academic life with a surreal and affecting exploration of its secret counterpart in the imagination.
