Eighteen people needed medical attention during an opera that features nuns, sex scenes, mutilation, and real blood.<\/p>\n

Florentina Holzinger’s Sancta also includes naked roller-skating nuns and a depiction of a wall of crucified naked bodies.<\/p>\n

During performances on 5 and 6 October, 18 people needed medical attention from staff, a spokesperson for Stuttgart’s state opera, where it was hosted, told Sky News.<\/p>\n

A few of them suffered from nausea during the boundary-pushing show.<\/p>\n

One instance took place before the show even started, and in three instances, an ambulance was called to the venue.<\/p>\n

Despite this, opera-goers seemed to enjoy the performance and applauded afterwards.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said: “Of course, we highly value the well-being of our audience.<\/p>\n

“That is why our staff is always excellently prepared for these kind of incidents, which happen during other performances too, albeit in smaller numbers.<\/p>\n

“By all means, we had informed our audience about sensitive content before the performances.<\/p>\n

“The great applause after indicates, that the vast majority of people knew what the performance was about.”<\/p>\n

Through the almost three-hour performance, the spokesperson said there were two scenes, lasting only a few minutes, that “might be hard to watch”.<\/p>\n

One scene was described as having a “small piece of flesh” cut from the back of one of the performers, and second where two other performers were “pierced together” to attach ropes and lift them up.<\/p>\n

They also highlighted certain light effects throughout which could have also been responsible for some incidents.<\/p>\n

Austrian choreographer Ms Holzinger, 38, is known for her boundary-pushing performances with her all-female casts often performing partly, or fully naked, and previous shows have featured tattooing, masturbating, and action paintings with blood and fresh excrement, The Guardian reported.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the same outlet earlier this year, she said: “Good technique in dance to me is not just someone who can do a perfect tendu [a type of dance move], but also someone who can urinate on cue.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Sancta is based on the controversial 1920s opera Sancta Susanna – the story of a nun who represses her own desires.<\/p>\n

Holzinger’s show is advertised as for people aged 18 and over and despite the incidents, further shows in Stuggart and Berlin have since reportedly sold out.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
