Epiphany

Denigrated because of his ridiculous prophetic capability, the Eliotian fortune-teller Tiresias is actually experiencing an epiphanic moment: he will discover unspeakable truths. Alienated from reality, he will suffer the evils of early modern society, in which music and colors hide the lack of human identity. Tiresias, through analogical and irrational mind processes, will discover the degradation of culture, the lack of communication, the violence, the cycle of life death and rebirth, the ineptitude of the adults against children, the passive life and the authentic life. Finally he will discover the purifying, cathartic power of cinema, the only source of redemption for man. Thanks to films, and more generally to art, the man becomes able to wander in the absolute.
