You probably already know that I’m not Jesus Christ‬ is a darkly humorous true tale about 11-year old Mihai, raised by his mother to believe he is the Second Coming. We are now revealing a TV clip from 2007 that served as a main inspiration for Maria Manolescu to transform this story into theatre show.

Playwright Maria Manolescu says “I was attracted to the true event that inspired the play because, although extreme and unusual, it outlines a universal peril: casting our children in the role of redeemers of our own anguish or sins.”
