"The Teacher" is a sharp and honest performance about the great responsibility that comes with the teaching profession. In this monologue, we meet Kristian, a newly appointed substitute teacher facing a troubled fifth grade class. He is a man with many roles - as a teacher, a human being and the mirror image of his childhood. Through his encounters with young pupils, he is forced to confront his own insecurities and experiences of the teaching role.
With humour and simple observations, Fredrik Høyer, known as a slam poet and actor, takes us through an exciting drama that illuminates how we understand ourselves through the eyes of others. Høyer has written both text and music, and his performance touches on both seriousness and humour in an unexpected way.
As Kristian meets his students, he meets himself. An honest portrayal of what it means to be a teacher, and how we all play roles in each other's lives. Look forward to a performance that both moves and challenges.
