Renata Kalenská, Lidové noviny

Popular journalist Renata Kalenská is known mostly as an author of full-page interviews (editor's note: in the Czech daily the Lidové noviny), in which every Saturday she interrogates personalities from public or social life. She asks the questions purposely in an informal way, she makes jokes with the persons questioned, but only in order to bring us the clearest picture of our original reality.
a bulletin to the production

Jan Antonín Pitínský refuses in principle that his opus should be reckoned as a political drama but in spite of this, he eventually committed the very same one with perfect easiness and humour. He positioned the production on permanently graduating irony by means of which he blows up our present into monstrous form, which reminds us mostly of a grandiose and mad slapstick comedy.

Pitínský does not differentiate who is more paranoid, whether the journalist or the persons interviewed, at the end all of them end up in a mental hospital. By the attitude of a "laughing beast". and by easiness, which can sometimes look infantile, his performance is undoubtedly different than the coolly analytical and precisely thematically designed style of a political drama as we know it already from Brecht.
Jana Machalická, Lidové noviny

The production is based on newspaper interviews with various political or cultural public personalities of the Czech Republic... the utterances, which in a newspaper look more refined and insipid, are interpreted by the actors in more expressive way and therefore the statements which can be easily lost in avalanches of signs and articles in newspapers are more visible and noticeable here.
Roman Sikora, Literární noviny

We can speak of a clear journalistic performance, a straight confrontation with the present. Similar participating and engaged performances are in Czech stagnant waters bubbling with honoured classics or boring retro trips sinfully rare... Actress Jana Plodková interprets journalist Renata Kalenská as a vigorous and hysterical miss who fully commits her mission also in the clinic. The other characters are shown as the representatives of many professions, human types and disorders. They are like a survey of the dodgiest occurrences in the Czech society of the last fifteen years... In his sophisticatedly sad, carnival-like ride, Pitínský stages, among real confessions, also a galaxy of mad nonsense. Clumsiness or rather debility and danger of some of those phrases ring in spectator's ears hopelessly and in alert. Furthermore, Pitínský multiplies this fact more or less by ironizing almost everybody who he has taken on the pillory. Our world is mad and as such it has to be looked upon.
