Two conversations on two different nights, one historical the other fictional, both enlightening and ultimately horrifying.
The first part presents a fictionalization of the conversation between the Marquis de Sade and Jean Testard as the infamous Marquis uses everything at his disposal to make the woman commit blasphemy for his satisfaction. The second part presents a retelling of the central chapters in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, as the eponymous monster tells his tale to Victor in an attempt to convince the scientist to make him a companion.
Although seemingly different, there is a singular concern in both conversations, an interrogation into the very nature of humanity. This is the story of the corpse of God and what is left of it.
