… During the court trial Brian lists the crimes that Communism, Capitalism and Religions have committed during history and in the present time. Finally, he throws these persons of the courtroom with loud agreement from the people. But there is no hope, as this sarcastic dark comedy presents. Oliviere da Silva, Don Pepe and Reverend Buchelar will come back soon, and they will again rule the courtroom and the life of the people outside.
The play is extremely provocative, very creatively written, and equally full of deep thought and many chances to laugh.

ZOLTAN DEMME: EGO – ehhez beteszek aulra a nagygépről egy képet
One man show, 2 acts.PRINCIPAL CHARACTER: Ego. Running time 1 hour 30 minutes. LOCATION: Golgotha, Jerusalem.
On the Calvary Hill a Memorial Park we see. It is under construction at recent. In the middle, a GIGANTIC MONUMENT OF EGO is built up, but it is covered, and will be covered during the play with dark protection canvas. Other monuments all around, also covered and will be covered with dark protection canvases. EGO arrives. EGO is a giant monster. He is higher than the humans and looks like a puppet. A large fancy-dress he wears. Large fancy-dress like a big helmet fully covers his face, his head, his back, his chest, and it ends at his stomach. Giant, helmet-like fancy-dress has a solid structure, with an actor inside, who carries the structure on his shoulders. On the top of the fancy-dress the Giant Head of EGO we see. Like Gods, the head of EGO has only one eye. It too has an opened mouth, with vampire teeth to suck blood, with shark teeth to destroy living beings, and with rounded pig teeth for gobbling. Chest and back of the fancy-dress with dragon flakes are covered. EGO has a bass voice and grunts sometimes like a hog. The EGO PUPPET two different persons embodies and unites in this play. EGO 1, the fancy-dressed monster acts as principal character. But he has a closed window on his chest, and he pulls off and on the window cover sometimes. A human face becomes visible each occasion when window cover pulled off. This is the face of the actor, who carries the fancy-dress structure on his shoulders. This is the face of EGO 2, the second character. EGO 2 hates the fancy-dressed hog. He is intelligent, educated, and smart…… This monodrama is a provocative and potentially offensive comedic critique and showcase of the worst parts of the nature of humanity, the human mind, and also past and current societies. The two characters (in one), and their interactions, are many times hilarious, and the play has heavy sarcasm and irony.
