      It was real and loaded. The actor was commited to any outcome including being murdered on stage.

      The audience first tested the waters and gradually escalated to more extreme forms of violence. When the violence started the audience factionalized into those who were committed to stopping her from being shot, arguing and shaming aggressors or physically stepping in.

      While I don’t know if I can condone the piece ethically it certainly says more about human nature than most art pieces.
