A black comedy play that imagines Gaza hosting the 2048 Summer Olympics. Application 39 is a black comedy play that imagines Gaza hosting the 2048 Summer Olympics. Two IT Department employees at the municipality of Gaza, submit an application to the International Olympic Committee as a joke. They hack the website and copy the French application and just change the location. They win the bid as the committee decides that it is the best way to bring peace to the region. In 2040 Gaza is divided into smaller states, run by flying talking robots and underground tunnels are the only way to move through super speedy lifts. The State of Gaza City, accepts the challenge of organising the games and starts building more tunnels in order to cater for various Sports. This upsets some of its neighbours, including other Palestinian states.
