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

Interesting, never knew.

Here’s another one some people have never realized. Literally is not the same word as literately

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.

I saw something like this at a goth Burlesque in the PNW, with a cheek piercing. I’m not sure what caused so many people in this performance to feel ill though, I don’t see many details.

Once one person gets sick it’s human instinct to follow up.

Yeah it’s probably natural to throw up after you smell the first 10 people’s vomit :(
