"A madcap nonsense play that is basically a workplace comedy set in a cult that worships fans... Almost every line hides a sophisticated joke... For me, it was a cathartic experience: I haven't seen satire that so clearly laughs at me, or at least at my surroundings, for a long time. The jokes observe the lack of meaning both inside and outside the cult, and about what power does to people and leaders... Above all, it's a fun show, a hallucinatory carnival that you laugh at—and still leave with stomach pain."
Itamar Katzir – Haaretz

Premiered at the Ephraim Kishon Israeli Comedy Festival
