The idea of this work is based on the search for Etienne. How to find Etienne? Who is he? What does hi look like? Before finding the answers to the asked quertions I wanted to be sure that there would be not one answer, but several assumptions on the identity of Etienne so I invented several hypotheses. The first hypotheses would be that Etienne is one of the five persons on stage and that it would be difficult to know whom of them really is Etienne. The second is that each one of the five men represents Etienne. They are not just symbolising one Etienne, we are in the presence of five different Etiennes. The last hypothesis is that the five men have unconsciously created a sixth person that is not visibly possible to find and who's existence stays an enigma for those who believe that Etienne exist. I leave it to the audience to find their own Etienne.
