Bloody borders: Stuttgart opera with shocking performance sancta!

The current opera performance "Sancta" at the Stuttgart State Opera causes excitement and discomfort! Despite an age rating of 18 years and clear warnings, several spectators reacted with nausea to the bloody and provocative staging. In total, the visitor service took care of 18 people, whereby a doctor had to be consulted in three cases, as State Opera spokesman Sebastian Ebling reported.

The director Florentina Holzinger, known for her provocative work, not only brings lesbian love scenes on stage in “Sancta”, but also denounces religious oppression. The performance contains explicit sexual actions, the use of real blood and even piercing processes, which was identified by the State Opera as "no fake" performance. On the homepage, an express warning of the brutal and sexual representations is pronounced that can have a potentially re -traumatizing effect. Despite the alarming incidents, the program planned for the opera remains unchanged. Ebling explained that nausea and fainting in the opera were not unusual and that it was ultimately spectators who knew the type of performance. More about this reports www.swr.de .
