An interrogation room: an interrogator, a suspect, sometimes a secretary — and Boris. Boris is a horrible figure, a monster or a giant, and is not played by any actor at all. He exists only in how the others behave about him.

Hold with care
  • The frame is an interrogation under threat of an unseen torturer, and the page ends by having the suspect mime being tortured — comic-absurd in a settled group, and not a neutral frame in every room or for every history
