Was Pierre Rivière, the family killer a crazy person or a do-gooder? Was Anders Behring Breivik, the mass murderer a lunatic or a politician or a soldier? Or were they both just criminals? Was Michel Foucault an intellectual or a lecher? Harri Virtanen's new drama juxtaposes the case of Pierre Rivière - well-known from the 1830s onwards and carefully studied by Michel Foucault - with Anders Breivik, our contemporary. The work ponders how the society deals with extremists. When does the society use the perspective of illness and when that of crime, when it assesses the actions of extremists? Virtanen's beautiful text aspires to reach a kind of contemporary sublime and tries to approach its themes directly and without compromise, but it's not a spectacle and it uses no shock effects.
