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.
Club Vandersex is back awwwww yissssss
“Ok Morty, fuck it, I’m doing an opera. It’s gonna have… uh… naked ladies, a lot of fake blood (some real blood), piercings, nuns getting shwifty, and a FUCKING HALF PIIIII- *belch* -IIIIPE!”
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 😄
Hindemith’s original opera tells the story of a young nun who, aroused by a tale told by one of the nunnery’s older women, steps on to the altar naked and rips the loincloth from Christ’s torso. An encounter with a large spider leads her to repent her action and beg the other nuns to wall her up alive.
Maybe the war on drugs wasn’t so bad after all.
Couldn’t disagree more, that sounds hilarious 😄
“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!!!
🤔
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
How about littorally?
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.
The lady in the bell is where I lost it. Art (“art”?) is fucking weird.
Man, Germany has all the cool shit.
Sounds like a fun time.
I guess Germans read about the fate of the Eldar & birth of Slaanesh and took that as an instruction guide.
and copious amounts of fake and real blood
Where did they use the real blood? I thought theaters avoid it because it’s really hard to clean and it coagulates after being exposed to air for a while. (though fake blood is also really expensive from what I’ve heard)
ofc its germany /lh
Now I’d like a similar opera centered around Mohammed to compare the reactions.
…what?
