Structured around a fictionalized interview with a real former member of the Italian extra-parliamentary radical left, the work highlights the subtle boundary between fiction, reality, and a constructivist approach to history. The piece employs both the language of documentary as well as cinematic language, probing how narratives are constructed and showing that the “fact” itself is ultimately inaccessible, existing only as a construction.
