Lauwers examines the degree to which history as we know it is determined by lies, chance meetings and random events. Taking the family trees of the performers, their nationalities, cultures and languages as a starting point, an alternative world history is created – featuring women who throw stones and end up by being burnt at the stake and a Crusader whose armour is too small.
