Description:
Contemporary madness in its entirety is summarised in Daniel Banulescu's play, set in an asylum populated with 12 dangerous madmen who are divided as believers of the four major religions. This is theatre in a world governed by insanity; as Dan Stanca remarks, the play could be set anywhere - in Pitesti, in the Siberian Gulag, in a Nazi concentration camp, Maoist or Khmer Rouge extermination camp, and, even, in one of the CIA s secret prisons... This is the principal merit and black humour of the play.
