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.

    and copious amounts of fake and real blood

    Where did they use the real blood? I thought theaters avoid it because it’s really hard to clean and it coagulates after being exposed to air for a while. (though fake blood is also really expensive from what I’ve heard)

      I imagine it’s probably something to do with the live piercing, which I assume to be hook pulls? Needle play really icks some people out, but I don’t know if it would be visible from an opera stage
