Florentina Holzinger’s bloody Sancta was criticised by Austrian bishops and is now a sellout in Germany

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.

    🤔

    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
