Blasphemous Play depicting Jesus coming down from the cross to rape a muslim woman was performed; and yes, it sold out
The controversial performance, which claims to address the refugee crisis in Europe, will be repeated on May 26.
Titled "Our Violence and Your Violence" and directed by a Croatian playwright Oliver Frljic, the play shows the actor playing Jesus descending from a cross and acting out the rape of a Muslim woman before pulling out the national flag of the country, where the performance is taking place, from her genitals.
It was performed this week at the World of Theatre festival in Brno in the Czech Republic and at the Croatian National Theatre in Split for the Marulic Days Festival, which is named after Croatian Renaissance poet Marko Marulic, whose work was influenced by the Bible.
Cardinal Dominik Duka, primate of the Czech Catholic Church, condemned the performance, calling it "the sale of Christianity and its ideals."
He said the play was offensive not only to Christians, but also to Muslims and all Czechs.
The Monitor reports that another performance of the play is scheduled for May 26, and the tickets have sold out.
One man said, "One can commit blasphemy against Christianity and offend Christians with impunity. It's cool, it's edgy, and no one is going to get hurt."
