The curious events that form the subject of this show have recurred several times throughout history, for the gods periodically amuse themselves by branding humanity with the red-hot iron of its insignificance. If, in the beginning, the gods had ceased their squabbles. If Rome had foreseen its downfall. Everything would have been turned upside down, you know, the haphazard twists and turns, the vagaries of fate. We arrive at a point where we no longer quite know what's happening, that's for sure. Unless the consequences finish us off, by jove! We, the playthings of History that we are. We review the great deeds. Middle Ages, Renaissance, 18th, 19th centuries and beyond, oh, beyond!! We revisit the defining moments. We strive to understand, damn it! Interpretations may overlap, but ultimately, there is only one History: the true one, and in particular, this one.
