Summary/Abstract: The modern man sees no point in the world he lives in, yet at the same time he is animated by a power beyond his understanding. History is a series of mystifications orchestrated by those who hold the power; the masses have access to truth only to the extent that they are permitted to approach it. Everything they know changes from one moment to the next to confuse and keep them under control. The dramatist writes to ask (himself) the fundamental questions.
