seems like an unnecessarily extra word. you could just say 'included live piercing, sexual intercourse and blah blah..
why were we wasting medical resources on Germans?
yinglet theatre B)>
ofc its germany /lh
Bitchin'...
Man, Germany has all the cool shit.
~~cool~~ fresh shit
action paintings with blood and fresh excrement
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.
LOL! They even have penguins (nuns) on stage.
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)
I imagine it's probably something to do with the live piercing, which I assume to be hook pulls? Needle play really icks some people out, but I don't know if it would be visible from an opera stage
Is opera not about the maximal? I think such things absolutely require content warnings, but also that sounds like the sort of show I’d attend (and know people who’d perform in)
🤔
I heard a short interview with the opera houses intendant (if I recall correctly) and he was pretty ~~unphased~~ unfazed 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?
How do I see or even find out about crazy shows like this?
Look into regional burns.
Honestly, check with your local alternative community. You probably don’t have anything local, but where the body mod types, performance artists, and bdsm folks interact winds up with shit like thie
Cincinnati?
Actually yes, probably
Sounds like a Genitorturers concert!
Or a Crash Worship concert.
Dafaq am I reading?
