"P.O.R.N.O. - Public Organization for the Recreation of Society" is a black comedy based on sketches by Hanoch Levin that satirizes the ailments of modern society: the lack of empathy, the desire for power and dominance, the influence of the media on public opinion, self-love, the thirst for revenge, material obsession, acute hypochondria, and the fear of premature death. Hanoch Levin is the most recognizable contemporary Israeli playwright. The style of his plays has been compared to that of the absurdists Pinter and Beckett, and the sketches in "P.O.R.N.O." challenge accepted moral norms while also exploring the themes of unattainable happiness and the inevitability of death.
