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.

I wish they weren't all sold out, I kinda want to see it now. It's working! 😂

A friend of mine has a condition that can easily cause him to pass out from seeing blood, or indeed picturing blood in his mind. I remember us listening to a guy talking about a surgery he had recently gone through, one that involved fixing an artery, et voila, my friend suddenly passed out.

My only point being that some people can be very sensitive, and my buddy would've no doubt spent a performance like this drifting in and out of consciousness.

I have friends like this and with my lifestyle and history of emergency response, I can't fathom it. Apart from trained hygiene precautions, my brain just never reacts to blood apart from it being an indicator of the next actions to take to keep as much of it inside as possible. I've had a shower off a firetruck to get blood off—clothes ruined, still washing blood out of my hair once I got home—but training kept those two alive in time for paramedics to arrive. That's all my brain thought about. They found out and my buddy and I got a call from the hospital to meet them ♥️

But then I have another friend that gets queasy seeing a scratch and has passed out from a needle...

Some of us just have very different survival instincts. Fight or flight seem to both work very well so long as you're one of the other. But they certainly can't understand each other.

People in Stuttgart are too sheltered. In Berlin that wouldn't stand out in an average Friday.

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?

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 week ago

Sounds like there already was.

I guess Germans read about the fate of the Eldar & birth of Slaanesh and took that as an instruction guide.
