    Hmm, vomit inducing smutty plays what a novel idea! Let’s go see the whole 3hr of it *proceeds to vomit* – oh no, I want my money back!

  2. Looks pretty cool. Holzinger has been a very, very provocative artist in the past, so what would you expect when attending such a performance, really? I don’t understand these people.

  3. Fun fact….the show had multiple warnings on different levels showing ppl exactly about what they got themselves into.

  4. >On stage, naked nuns roller skate around on a movable half-pipe

    Holy shit that’s unbearable I need to vomit right now!

  5. Its a Florentina Holzinger production. She‘s awesome, but you should probably have some idea of what you are getting into before going in.

    Have been to most of her productions and for better or for worse, it sticks with you.

    It’s edgy because of bodily fluids ! I have seen several of these productions – a good actor doesn’t need to spit on its audience to get their attention I.m.h.O.

  7. >On stage, naked nuns roller skate around on a movable half-pipe, while a bouldering wall of crucified naked bodies dripping blood looms in the background. To add to this chaos, there are live piercings, crucifix swallowing acts, unsimulated sex scenes and a sprinkle of spanking thrown in for good measure.

    >One particularly unforgettable moment sees an actress with dwarfism dressed as the Pope, being spun around by a robotic arm, while another features an actress belting out Eminem tracks while dressed as Jesus

    Is the thing any good? because it sounds like it’s just checking every ‘I’m provocative’ checkbox a la family guy.

    From what I read in german media, the people who fainted did so because of the blood. Similar to how people faint when they see a blood.

  9. If it’s specifically advertised as the thing it is, I see no problem. Don’t watch it if you don’t like it.

    I’m pretty sure they won’t ever use a different historical religious figure due to fear of violence but this is cool
