Ever since the amateur restoration of \u201cEcce Homo\u201d was revealed, it has been giving the world a serious case of the giggles. This time around \u201cBeast Jesus\u201d is at it again, but as a full-on opera about its not so immaculate inception and online popularity.<br \/>\n\u201cBehold the Man\u201d by Andrew Flack, has been under production for the past three years but it&#8217;s finally ready. If you needed proof that God listens to our prayers &#8211; this is it. On 18 July 2016 Flack read the first dramatisation to a lucky few in Boulder, Colorado, and according to an email he sent <a href=\"http:\/\/cultura.elpais.com\/cultura\/2015\/07\/31\/actualidad\/1438338100_953594.html?ref=rss&amp;format=simple&amp;link=guid\" target=\"_blank\">El Pais<\/a> the audience\u2019s reaction was extraordinary. \u201cPaul Fowler\u2019s music is beautiful and the story is both fun and emotive,\u201d said Flack. \u201cCecilia\u2019s character is a sedulous woman of faith that found herself in the middle of controversy, but for us she\u2019s a heroine\u00a0because she followed her heart\u2019s commands,\u201d he added.<br \/>\n\u201cBehold the Man\u201d will premiere on 20 August 2016, on the 4th anniversary of the original &#8220;Ecce Homo&#8221; incident in Borja, Spain back in 2012. In the meantime, enjoy some of the most memorable moments of the reincarnation of \u201cBeast Jesus\u201d.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35869 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beast-Jesus-Opera.jpg\" alt=\"Behold the man\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1193\" \/> 20 August 2012, The Birth of &#8220;Beast Jesus&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Beast-Jesus-Opera-1-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Behold the man Borja\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/> &#8220;Beast Jesus&#8221;
