Beyond the economies of the spectacle, a still barely explored field opens up for theatre: the mysteriousness of ordinary people. In our search for the mysterious nothingness that usually constitutes us so completely, we follow the lexical cues that the authors' collective Tiqqun have gathered in their "Theory of Bloom". In their analysis, the ordinary is found, for example. In their analysis, the ordinary is found, for example, in the form of those "peculiar people of a world of authoritarian commodity economy" and is regarded there as a "widespread form of life of twilight and arbitrariness" and primarily describes the "end-of-life mood of a civilization tied to its deathbed, which is only able to distract itself from its downfall by alternating between short phases of technophilic hysteria and long periods of contemplative powerlessness". An allegory about the need for meaning, the exceptionality of the banal, and the inauthenticity of being. For all who are a mystery to themselves.
