Is every autobiography a lie, an invention? What can we believe in what Guy tells us? And if identity thinking, in private, is already a narration, what does it look like when it's about a whole group or even a nation?
Guy, whoever he may be, has had enough of all these alternative truths, the so-called narratives—well-intentioned but ill-thought-out.
Confined in the Kasemattentheater, he monologues about the Prime Minister, about Luxembourg, about the fact that the harmony of identity is nothing more than the melody of totalitarianism. He encounters scenes from his life, his thoughts, his behavior. His parents appear, childhood friends, love.
He works it all out, but nothing fits together.
Homogeneity seems to be a puzzle whose pieces do not fit, the core is the result of a reduction, something is left out. And that is what people call identity. Absurd, grotesque, says Guy, laughing as much at all this clamor as does the audience at his rant.
