On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the monologue Nipple Jesus by Nick Hornby will be presented in the foyer of the Old Slaughterhouse in Straubing. The performance begins at 19:30. The focus is on a museum guard who is confronted with a provocative artwork.
Art between Value and Perception
Nick Hornby's monologue starts with the encounter with modern art and poses fundamental questions: What makes an artwork valuable? How does perception arise? And how does one's own attitude change when a work provokes or elicits contradictory reactions?
The story connects the perspective of the museum guard with a discourse on art and its impact. It is not only about the exhibited object itself but also about the people who observe, evaluate, and categorize it. The provocative artwork thus becomes an opportunity to reflect on personal convictions and societal notions of art.
Monologue in the Foyer of the Old Slaughterhouse
The performance takes place in the foyer of the Old Slaughterhouse at Heerstraße 35 in Straubing. As a monologue, the piece focuses on the narrated perspective of a single character and their thoughts, observations, and reactions. The format creates space for immediate engagement with the material and the questions it raises.
Nipple Jesus is aimed at anyone interested in theater, literature, and contemporary art. The evening offers an opportunity to view the boundaries between artwork, audience, and personal perception from an unusual perspective.
