Warnings warn spectators
As soon as the play was programmed, warnings accompanied the presentation of the work, indicating that explicit sexual acts were depicted. “In addition, we see real blood as well as fake blood, piercings (performed live, editor’s note) and injuries (inflicted on actors, editor’s note)”, we can read in this series of warnings. “We advise all spectators to read the warnings very carefully in advance, so that you know what to expect. And if in doubt during the performance, looking away can be helpful,” concluded Sebastian Ebling .
