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.

The person announcing that people needed medical care is the spokesperson for the play. Very obvious PR bait.

If you’re ever in NYC just go to The Box. You’ll see the same exact shit, literally.

Though expect to pay $2000 for tickets at 1am on a Wednesday night because the venue solely exists to milk rich people
