INSTITUTE BENJAMENTA, OR THIS DREAM PEOPLE CALL HUMAN LIFE
Directed by Stephen Quay
Jakob arrives at the Institute Benjamenta (run by brother and sister Johannes and Lisa Benjamenta) to learn to become a servant. With seven other men, he studies under Lisa: absurd lessons of movement, drawing circles, and servility.
