Having abandoned all desire to struggle, an individual sets himself on fire. All we hear is his inner call, an expression of his fear of emptiness. The spell of a world which could lead to his death, if time were to be altered or oblivion were to prevail, is the result of this obsessive fear.

En-dehors de toute finalité de lutte, un être s'inflige des conditions extrêmes. Aucun autre cri n'est entendu, que cet appel intérieur exprimant sa peur du vide. Il apparaît que l'envoûtement exercé sur lui par un monde pouvant mener à la mort, si le facteur temps était modifié ou encore si l'oubli triomphait, est le résultat de cette hantise.
Le spectacle d'immolation par le feu entraîne un transfert de l'angoisse du personnage sur le téléspectateur. En complément de cette thématique, le feu constitue un "élément" important de l'oeuvre.
