(1998, Chris Landreth)
Ideal ego and the ego ideal. The image you assume and the symbolic point which give you a place and supplies the point from which you are looked at.
A nice example of the interaction of the Lacanian “three registers of human reality”: the imaginary, the symbolic and the real.
Bingo is based on a short play, Disregard This Play, by Chicago’s Neo-Futurist Theater Company. The story is a little ditty of existentialist hell in which the central character, Dave, is told he is a clown. At first he denies, then he argues, then he dispairs, and ultimately, he concedes.
