Amélie Nothomb reinterprets the story of the Passion and crucifixion, giving voice to a transgressive Messiah who is unable to forgive himself for the pointless and sadistic mise-en-scène. She distills the essence of life down to its basic components, revealing that real human strength resides in the body, not in the spirit.

Amélie Nothomb's reinterpretation of the story of the Passion and crucifixion presents Jesus as a transgressive Messiah, the son of God portrayed as deeply human. This is not solely due to his broken chastity vows but also his inability to forgive himself for the pointless and sadistic mise-en-scène that is the Passion. The trial at Pontius Pilate is a farcical one, with witnesses for the prosecution being the very ones who were healed by Jesus' miracles. Nothomb veers from the tragic to the comic, from deep compassion to cold mercilessness, distilling the essence of life down to its basic components: love, death, and thirst. She reveals that real human strength resides in the body, not in the spirit.
