Spectacular bloody orgies of a quasi-Wagnerian form. The first ones took place at night, by torch light. The KKK produced a “New World” adaptation of the concept, but the African version exceeded all expectations with its resounding success in Rwanda. A highly streamlined take on it, in fact, that moved profit to the back burner, for once, to focus almost exclusively on pleasure.

— Dominique Bassal [English translation: François Couture, iv-24]
