Sommes-nous vraiment les auteurs de notre propre histoire ?

Ilios Chailly, a writer and performer who has long engaged with Antonin Artaud’s work, examines how identity is constructed, transformed, and narrated. Drawing on Ricœur, Deleuze, Derrida, Lacan, and Artaud alongside personal experience, Chailly explores the tension between what is inherited, the narratives we construct about ourselves, and the possibility of self-transformation. The essay interrogates whether we are sovereign authors of our own histories or products of circumstances beyond our control, challenging stable notions of identity by examining the interplay between predetermined conditions (body, name, family, language, historical moment) and our capacity to act upon them.
