A short monologue about a long time by Guy Helminger. Directed by Liss Scholtes, featuring Jil Devresse, Brigitte Urhausen, and Philippe Thelen. Set design by Soojin Oh, with Béatrice Paquet as assistant director and technical support from Pascal Klein.
Is every autobiography a lie, an invention? What do you believe about what Guy says? If identity thinking is already a narrative in the private sphere, how does it look when it concerns an entire group or even a nation?
Guy, whoever he is, has had enough of all the alternative truths, the so-called narratives that are well-intentioned but poorly thought out.
Locked in the Kasemattentheater, he monologues about the Prime Minister, Luxembourg, noting that the harmony of identity is nothing more than the melody of totalitarianism. This brings up scenes from his life, his thoughts, his behavior. Parents appear, childhood friends, love.
Everything he eliminates. But nothing fits together.
Homogeneity seems to be a puzzle where the pieces don't fit, the core being the result of a reduction, left with residues. And that, people call identity. Absurd, grotesque, Guy thinks, laughing as much about all this chaos as probably the audience does about his chatter.
