The upcoming play, Jesus the Crucified, is a spectacular musical drama presented by the Pro Patria Museum (NPC). It will take place on 28 and 29 February and 2 March this year at the Moreletta Church Auditorium in the Capital City of South Africa. It depicts the last days of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospels of the Bible. The musical aims to raise funds for the museum.

The musical begins with the Last Supper, followed by Jesus’ appeal in the Garden of Gethsemane to take the cup of suffering away from Him. The flogging and mocking of the Roman soldiers follow his trials before Joseph Caiaphas, Herod Antipas, and Pontius Pilate. The cross is given to Him, and the procession reaches the top of Calvary, where the Crucifixion takes place in a portrayal of the entire drama found in the Gospels.

The Tshwane Gospel Choir performs throughout the drama, and the well-known Nymph Kellerman is the director. She promised it would be a passionate play with a difference that will be remembered for a long time. She says, “ I am excited about the play. It is a passion play that feeds the audience surprises – small ones …  and big ones.”

Tom Moodie, one of the three directors of the Pro Patria Museum, is the producer of this production. He is involved in producing Jesus the Crucified and said, “It is a privilege to see so much young talent being developed by utmost competence.”

Nymph Kellerman
Nymph Kellerman has been in the Performing Arts since the beginning of the 80s as a singer and actress. She studied Drama and Opera at the University of South Africa and the Academy for Drama Art in Cape Town, where she obtained her Licentiate in Drama Art. She trained as a formal singer under various renowned vocal advisers such as internationally known Fred Dalberg (Nico Malan Opera House, Cape Town), Sarie Lamprecht (SABC Johannesburg), and internationally known George Fourie (PACT Pretoria). She did her Master’s classes in opera in London with world-renowned Dame Vera Roza Nordell (Covent Garden Opera House London). After completing her Master’s Classes, she stayed in London to work and perform in various recitals. Returning to South Africa, she joined the South African Broadcasting Corporation and produced and performed in multiple musicals, shows, and music videos. She is involved in skills development projects in the Performing Arts. Nymph is also the director of “Bloedrivier tot Bosoorlog”, the play of the Pro Patria Museum at the Voortrekker Monument during the “Gelofteweek” in December.

The Pro Patria Museum, situated at the Voortrekker Monument, aims to honour and recognize the historical role played by the South African Forces to create a safe and peaceful environment for an orderly political transition to educate current and future generations about this role. It also wants to inform generations to come on this piece of history in the preservation of history.
