Synopsis

A drama major seeks help with a required text, Aristotle's Poetics, from a professor who realizes that she cannot grasp the main ideas. Dolorosa tries to communicate her frustration and finally convinces him to let her enact a scene. He is overwhelmed by her performance of material that inadvertently dramatizes Aristotle's principles. The ominous ending questions if art has indeed triumphed over life.
