Eighteen theatregoers at Stuttgart’s state opera required medical treatment for severe nausea over the weekend after watching a performance that included live piercing, unsimulated sexual intercourse and copious amounts of fake and real blood.
The version that unsettled audience members in Stuttgart this year supplanted the original musical performance with naked nuns rollerskating on a movable half-pipe at the centre of the stage, a wall of crucified naked bodies and a lesbian priest saying mass.
Lmao, that’s great. I almost suspect the cases of severe nausea to be press baiting, it’s just a little too good.
The person announcing that people needed medical care is the spokesperson for the play. Very obvious PR bait.
I wish they weren’t all sold out, I kinda want to see it now. It’s working! 😂
If you’re ever in NYC just go to The Box. You’ll see the same exact shit, literally.
Though expect to pay $2000 for tickets at 1am on a Wednesday night because the venue solely exists to milk rich people

Good technique in dance to me is not just someone who can do a perfect tendu, but also someone who can urinate on cue,” Holzinger told the Guardian in an interview earlier this year.
Just your average choreographer 😄
“To me, a good dancer is someone who can urinate on cue”
Wtf dude
Very good splits Hazel, now shit on Julia’s chest. I said give Julia a Cleveland Streamer!!!
why would you sign up for something like this if you’re a goddamn pussy
It looks like there were warnings in advance too
Visitors to the adults-only show were alerted in advance to a long list of warnings for potential triggers including incense, loud noises, explicit sexual acts and sexual violence.
FWIW, I’m a sideshow performer and have been in shows that were exactly like this (though I don’t do full nudity or piercing). There’s always a content warning at the top of the show. Though I’m surprised (but not) they allowed live sex. Even where I live, which has pretty lenient blue laws, live sex is a hard no.
Also, this sounds amazing

How are you supposed to know the priest is a lesbian if they didn’t tell you?
How do you know if someone is a nun when they are all naked? 🤔
It’s a matter of habit.
Maybe she makes an offhand comment about not being into guys
Maybe she drives a Subaru onstage
Her priest’s frock was plaid flannel.
Nude flannel
If you’ve never seen copious amounts of blood before, you might not know you’re a goddamn pussy. I didn’t know blood would make me queasy until I was trying to clean glass and blood from the floor before my dogs ran in to see the commotion as the skin on the backs of 2 fingers was flapping and undoing all my blood cleanup. It damaged something in my nail base, too, because I have a scar that ends at a permanent ridge in my nail extrusion.
Why would you shove a toothpick under your toenail and kick the wall as hard as you can if you’re a goddamn pussy
People in Stuttgart are too sheltered. In Berlin that wouldn’t stand out in an average Friday.
In New York City, this is just your average subway commute.

I heard a short interview with the opera houses intendant (if I recall correctly) and he was pretty
unphasedunfazed by this story. He said that it was not uncommon that a few of the 1400 guests of the opera house get nauseous during a show especially on hot days when air gets stale…Sounded like he wasn’t convinced the nausea during the Santa performance was because of the play itself.
*unfazed
“fazed” means “disconcerted or perturbed”, just FYI, and I will take my downvotes now
Interesting, never knew.
Here’s another one some people have never realized. Literally is not the same word as literately
Going to the Opera on Saturday, but it probably won’t be this much fun. Shame.

I guess there won’t be a live-stream?
Sounds like there already was.
look at this if you wanna know what the opera looks like. The fascinating thing to me is that they apparently put on several shows in Schwerin (predominantly protestsnt town in northern Germany) without much fuss.
Dafaq am I reading?
Rage bait
Yeah, I’m sure that’s accurate and complete information, and not just a shock horror show fishing for attention.
Sounds like a fun time.
I saw something like this at a goth Burlesque in the PNW, with a cheek piercing. I’m not sure what caused so many people in this performance to feel ill though, I don’t see many details.
Once one person gets sick it’s human instinct to follow up.
Yeah it’s probably natural to throw up after you smell the first 10 people’s vomit :(
Maybe all the blood and shit
There was shit??
Nett hier
aber waren Sie
Schon mal im Laboratory?
Gibts da was gutes?
