NippleJesus in Fürth: A monologue that ignites art and faith on stage

A man, an image, a storm of emotions: Nick Hornby's pointed monologue NippleJesus unfolds a gripping theatrical atmosphere at the Stadttheater Fürth, blending wit, anger, and insight. Former doorman Dave becomes a museum caretaker – and finds himself at the center of an art scandal that challenges both his worldview and the audience.

Provocation with precision: The production

With an unembellished production, focused dramaturgy, and a clever text version, the evening directly leads into the conflict: From the very first second, moral certainties, artistic freedom, and audience reactions collide. The monologue sharpens perception, dismantles prejudices, and raises the question: Who is guiding whom – art the viewers or the viewers the art?

Stage experience in close-up

The setting feels like a close-up: reduced stage design, pinpoint lighting, breathing acoustics. Every punchline lands, every pause opens cognitive spaces. When Dave describes the controversial image, vivid scene images form in the mind. Tension and humor alternate precisely – a solo that carries.

From scandal to the search for meaning

Amidst outraged voices, religious zeal, and media buzz, Dave asserts himself as an independent narrator. Hornby showcases the play with expectations: The perceived destruction of the work reveals itself as a calculated twist by the artist – a directing of perception that exposes the art market and consumer desire.

Text origin: From literature to the stage

Hornby's source material – a short story from a renowned collection – unfolds additional friction live. The stage events make the reactions physically tangible: an audience space that visibly breathes, chuckles, creaks.

Conclusion: NippleJesus promises an intense theater evening that feeds both heart and mind. Anyone wanting to experience how provocation turns into empathy and laughter into reflection should not miss this solo.
