Juggling his addictions and his sense of honor, Blaise embarks on a race of the impossible, alternating between happiness and despair. Through this complex character, we explore themes that are dear to us, family relationships, as well as cinema and the imaginary as an escape.
This character is maladjusted to the real world and contemporary society. Timeless and offbeat, Blaise thinks he's a gangster from an old action movie, and sees life as fiction. He thwarts and twists his adventures as if he were a movie hero. It's the only way for him to escape the mediocrity of his existence and reinvent his everyday life. He makes one bad choice after another, with cowardice, but his desire to do the right thing and his sincerity are omnipresent. Aware of his weaknesses, he feels guilty and constantly tries to make amends for his mistakes. He wants to repent, to regain his mother's love and his role as big brother. His trajectory is a tragic one, leading to the Crash!
At the start of the show, Blaise is on all four wheels, suspended between life and death. This "second of eternity when everything passes" is the temporality of our show. It's at this precise moment that he takes the time to tell us all about his journey and to explain to his mother, everything he's been willing to do, like a balance sheet in the face of death, a request for forgiveness so he can leave in peace.
