This work discusses the collective conception of the didactic play and school opera The one that says yes, by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, from its second staging, in 1930, for the students of the Karl Marx School in the city of Berlin. What followed were the most diverse suggestions for remodeling dramaturgy. The students not only disagreed with the proposed action, but also proposed new actions and outcomes. The consequence of this collaboration was the transformation of The one who says yes to The one who says no, and the construction of another version for The One who says yes, which was preceded by the first. Based on some student comments, the proposed reformulations are discussed in dialogue with the idea of learning-play.
