![]() His sneers at his former show, Two and a Half Men prompting cheers from the audience. The show was in a 5,100 seat theater and was sold out.Īccording to The Guardian, they sold T-shirts that said "Bangin' 7 g's", a reference to Sheen's drug intake, and a hat that said "I'm not Bi-Polar". But he kicked off his 20-stop tour titled Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option in Detroit. It doesn't sound like he's following a script. Kinski mentions at the end that he was reciting 30 pages of script in his performance.īut I'm not clear on what Charlie Sheen is doing. On the other hand, if you're going to do a one-man show playing Jesus, speaking directly to the audience, you have expect some problems. Were they Christians? Were they anti-Christian? Did they think he thought he actually was Jesus Christ? Or did they think it was like one of those things where actors dress up like historical figures and walk around so people can talk to them and ask them questions about their time period. They started heckling from the beginning. ![]() I'm not sure what the hecklers' problem was or what they paid ten marks to see. Kinski stands still, clutching the microphone on a stand. Please let him say his lines, and then you can say yours." The people who would like this event to continue are asking you to step to the back and to stop interrupting and provoking Mr. "People don't have a right to just climb up on stage. "This is a performance here," the manager says into the mic. He gives the mic back to the manager of the theater. "If you wouldn't scream into the mic we could understand you better," the theater manager says very calmly.īut the man screams some more into the microphone. "THESE ARE FASCIST METHODS! KINSKI IS A FASCIST! A PSYCHOPATH!" While Kinski is backstage, a man climbed up on stag and takes the mic. He says he will return when the riffraff have been removed. Hecklers react as if Kinski has revealed that he's not really Jesus after all. Security hustles the man off the the stage. "I want to say something.I want to say something. A security guard stops him but isn't sure whether to remove him or if Kinski will interact with him. He's an actor giving a performance, but the hecklers-they act like they're watching someone actually claiming to be the messiah and they want to argue. His image of Jesus is somewhat more conventional. There's no more talk about bashing people in the face. We see him start his performance again, this time without hecklers. He tells them to get rid of the hecklers or they've wasted their money and he walks off stage. "NO! HE DIDN'T SAY, 'SHUT UP!' HE TOOK A WHIP AND BASHED THEM IN THE FACE! YOU STUPID PIG!" (It sounds cool when you say this in German.) If people contradicted him, he tried to convince them. As far as I know, Jesus Christ was patient. "I'm no great speaker, and maybe some of you are looking for Christ. ![]() He tells them to shut up, He calls one heckler to come up on stage. But they're no match for Kinski's intensity. It starts with a few catcalls from the audience. Charged with seduction, anarchistic tendencies, conspiracy against the authority of the state." Now film of Kinski's Jesus Christ one man show is on You Tube. I had seen clips of this in Werner Herzog's documentary, Klaus Kinski, my Best Fiend. Jesus Christ, Savior: An evening with Klaus Kinski is now on You Tube.
