Dec 10, 2025 — Nick Hornby’s “Cici Krisztus”
Our comedy’s hero, a former bouncer named Dave, doesn’t know the first thing about art. Yet a contemporary gallery hires him to guard a controversial piece: a 118-inch-tall, 63-inch-wide painting created with, well… let’s say a highly unusual technique. People hate it, love it, and interpret it every which way. As Dave’s take on art—and this specific picture—shifts, he defends the artwork with growing zeal against his wife, the media, and a swarm of outraged religious fanatics. Packed with character-driven humor and hairpin turns, the story finally brings a lightning strike of trouble from an unexpected direction that Dave must face head-on. Based on the world-famous short story by Nick Hornby, adapted and directed by Géza Bodor into a site-specific museum-theater piece. Dave is played by Béla Ficzere. Location: Tata.
