SUMMARY:Comedy "O My God!"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKET Psychologist Ela\, breaking her own rules\, sees a client after 
 work who threatens that without urgent psychological help something irrepar
 able will happen. The visitor introduces himself... as God.- Ha ha ha! What
  happened that even God needs help?! It turns out Ela has only 40 minutes t
 o save the world.A light\, witty\, yet intellectual and prophetic dialogue 
 between Creator and Creation\, on which EVERYTHING depends!"Anat Gov's play
  "O My God" at first glance appears to be a fairly simple comedy\, astoundi
 ng from the first pages with its fantastic situation – God demands the he
 lp of a children's psychotherapist Ela\, otherwise something irreparable wi
 ll happen (as it turns out – an "improved flood"\, "forks for everyone\, 
 even the chosen ones"). Ela has only one session to save the world\, part o
 f which was "consumed" by Ela's disbelief that the client is God.We watch m
 ost of the play as a sparkling and funny stand-up with well-known biblical 
 themes and brilliantly constructed dialogues and jokes. The basic comedy go
 al of astounding and making the audience laugh is achieved.However\, the co
 medy's ordinariness (unexpectedly\, like a lightning strike) suddenly gives
  way when the second layer of the play opens. When the drama of the charact
 ers is revealed\, who\, as it is commonly thought\, are the least psycholog
 ically vulnerable (Ela is a psychotherapist\, and God is all-powerful).The 
 playwright set herself an extraordinarily complex\, risky task – to make 
 the audience laugh and evoke catharsis in one performance (let us recall th
 at catharsis\, a necessary element of tragedy\, is by no means mandatory in
  comedy). Thus\, paradoxically\, Anat Gov's comedy draws tears.And another 
 paradox – the Israeli playwright acted in a completely non-Jewish manner 
 – she sold two for the price of one. It is a must to take advantage of th
 is!"- Play translator\, poet\, playwright Mindaugas Valiukas "I'm curious w
 hat God looks like? Now I know what he looks like and how he feels... I hav
 e that privilege. It's very interesting."- Actor Vaidotas Martinaitis "What
  would you ask if you had the chance to meet God face to face? My character
  Ela confidently says "I don't believe in God! Look around\, does it seem t
 o you that God exists?!" She\, raising an autistic son alone and working as
  a psychologist\, has had enough opportunities in her life to be horrified 
 and disappointed. However\, this meeting will be fateful. And it's unknown 
 which one will help the other survive the healing transformation". - Actres
