Registration of the second theatre program by the Dutch comedy duo (Erik) van Muiswinkel and (Diederik) van Vleuten. In their first program, the two comedians limited themselves to the earth and the strange peoples who inhabit it. In their second program they expand their explorations into the world of the unseen, where they test their strength with astrologers, illusionists, millennium preachers and similar figures. What mechanisms drive people to believe in supernatural madness, and to derive pleasure and comfort from it? Have we made any progress in the twentieth century?
