An occupied metropolitan theatre and a cruise ship on the Mediterranean: these are the two colossal, heavily laden vehicles on board which Jakko — an autodidact who likes to keep records, a Simplicissimus hooked into the internet — moves through the days and nights. When this naive, dissipated, megalomaniac narrator finds out that the theatre around the corner from him has been occupied, he heads there right away: he wants to have a hand in writing the upcoming manifestos, be involved in the work groups on the disused stage, be there when the edifice begins to totter. But does he have what it takes to become an activist? And what is it from his past that moves into the spotlight in the shape of a gigantic cruise ship? Day XYZ is a text about the success and failure of political action, about fear of the collective and the need to take to the streets all the same, about the pupils dilating as the eyes adjust to the dark.
