For 25 years, SCHWEIG, BUB! has been on the program of the Nuremberg Theater. Kusz's first play takes place on the confirmation day of a 14-year-old boy. However, it is the adults who use the celebration to showcase themselves at the boy's expense. "The flagship piece of the new folk theater movement!" (Der Spiegel) "Calmer and more cunning than Kusz, hardly any author has recently held a mirror up to the audience. A folk play that looks nothing like traditional folk plays anymore – one that offers immense entertainment while providing deep insights into people, the world, and oneself." (Süddeutsche Zeitung) "First class. A satirist is at work in the guise of a folk writer. The satire hits home." (Friedrich Luft, Berliner Morgenpost) "The only Franconian classic of the new folk theater." (Die Zeit) "A hideously beautiful piece!" (Nürnberger).
