A young man, frustrated after being fired from multiple jobs, reaches his breaking point. Convinced that his college education was useless, he returns to his college to demand a refund of his tuition fees, arguing that the knowledge he gained there failed him in the real world. In response, his former professors take a clever test to challenge his perception and prove his intelligence. Will they succeed in changing his mind and sending him back with a new perspective? Watch the play to find out what happens next!

🎬 Remembering Michelangelo Antonioni

Every Wednesday evening this September, we celebrate the enigmatic genius of Michelangelo Antonioni with a curated selection of his most iconic films. From the haunting silences of L’Avventura to the visual poetry of Blow-Up, Antonioni’s work reshaped cinematic language—favoring mood, ambiguity, and existential depth over conventional storytelling. His films invite us to linger in the spaces between words, where alienation, desire, and modernity collide.

Born on September 29, 1912, in Ferrara, Italy, and passing away on July 30, 2007, in Rome, Antonioni left behind a legacy that continues to challenge and inspire filmmakers worldwide. He was the only director to win the Palme d'Or, Golden Lion, Golden Bear, and Golden Leopard, and received an Honorary Oscar in 1995 for his masterful visual style. His trilogy—L’Avventura, La Notte, and L’Eclisse—remains a cornerstone of modernist cinema, exploring the discontents of contemporary life with unmatched elegance and introspection.

Film Title: RED DESERT | 1964 | 120 Mins | Italy & France | Italian with English Subtitles

About the film: Red Desert (1964), directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, is a haunting psychological drama set against the bleak industrial backdrop of Ravenna, Italy. The film follows Giuliana, a fragile and emotionally unstable woman recovering from a traumatic car accident, as she struggles to find meaning and connection in a world dominated by machinery, pollution, and alienation. Married to a factory manager but emotionally adrift, she begins a tentative affair with Corrado Zeller, a visiting engineer, hoping to escape her inner turmoil. Through vivid, surreal use of color and desolate landscapes, Antonioni paints a portrait of modern existential despair, making Red Desert a landmark in cinematic expression of psychological isolation.

A circle of stories, reflections, and song

Love has many forms — gentle, fiery, divine, human. Inspired by The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak and the timeless words of Rumi, this baithak is a space to pause, listen, and share. Together, we will reflect on love through:

✨ Stories from the book and our own lives
✨ Baatein (conversations) on what love means to us in its many shades
✨ Anubhav (experiences) of holding love in community
✨ A closing song in Farsi — a gift from Rumi’s verses

This gathering is not a lecture, but a collective holding — a chance to sit in circle, share from the heart, and let all of us find a community to hold and share our experiences of love.
