Anat Gov's play "My God" at first glance looks like a fairly simple comedy, from surprising with the fantastical nature of its situation in the first pages - God requires the help of the child(!) psychotherapist Ela, otherwise something irreparable will happen (as it turns out - "an improved flood", "forks for everyone, even the chosen ones"). Ella has a single session to save the world, part of which is "eaten" by Ella's disbelief that the client is God.

For most of the play, we watch a sparkling and funny standup on well-known biblical themes with well-constructed dialogues and jokes. The basic purpose of comedy to surprise and make people laugh is fulfilled.

However, the ordinaryness of comedy (unexpectedly, like a lightning strike) disappears when the second layer of the play opens. When the drama of the characters, who are usually considered to be the least psychologically vulnerable (Ella is a psychotherapist, and God is all-powerful), opens up.

The playwright set an extremely difficult and risky task to both make the audience laugh and cause him catharsis in one performance (we remind you that catharsis, a necessary element of tragedy, is by no means mandatory in comedy). So, paradoxically, Anat Gov's comedy also squeezes out tears.

And another paradox - the Israeli playwright acted in a completely un-Jewish way - she sold two for the price of one. It is necessary to use it!

The translator of the play is poet, playwright Mindaugas Valiukas

"Wondering what God looks like?" Now I know what it looks like and what it feels like... I have that privilege. It's very interesting."

Actor Vaidotas Martinaitis

"What would you ask if you had the opportunity to meet God face to face ?

My character Ela confidently says "I don't believe in God!" Look around, do you think there is a God?!” Raising her autistic son alone and working as a psychologist, she had enough opportunities to be both horrified and disappointed in her life. But this meeting will be fateful. And you don't know who will help you survive the healing transformation"

Actress Valda Bičkutė

"I've always been interested in the roles of 'different' people, those who are shunned by most of society or seen as unacceptable. I am interested in how such people think, what they think about, how they accept life, how they enjoy it. And they really enjoy it, maybe even more often than the so-called "healthy" people.

The play itself, the first time I read it, was very entertaining, it's a humorous and engaging story. I'm glad that this the story fell into the hands of the director Gabriela Tuminaita, I believe that the play will not only make the audience smile, but also invite them to think, touching today's current affairs".

Actor Tomas Šečkus
