Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life (1995)
Jakob komt terecht in het Instituut Benjamenta (gerund door broer en zus Johannes en Lisa Benjamenta) om te leren om bediende te worden. Met zeven andere mannen studeert hij bij Lisa: absurde bewegingslessen, cirkels tekenen en slaafsheid. Hij vraagt om een betere kamer. Er komen geen andere studenten aan en er vertrekken er geen. Johannes is ongelukkig, heerszuchtig en losgekoppeld van de werking van de school. Lisa is mooi, eerst strak gecontroleerd, dan op het punt van instorten. Er hangt een vleugje incest. Jakob voelt zich aangetrokken tot Lisa, en zij misschien tot hem. Als de winter invalt, wordt ze catatonisch. Het wordt nog erger; Johannes merkt op dat dit allemaal is gebeurd sinds Jakob kwam. Is er een oorzaak en gevolg?
Regiseurs: Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay.
