Back around the early 1920s in Germany....a one-act opera was written and done...called 'Saint Susanna'. Premier? At the Frankfurt Opera House.
The basic storyline? Some lesbian nuns....a hint of sex (at least as much as you could do in 1923).
This play was re-done for 2024, and last night....the first show occurred. Ambulances were called....18 Germans in the audience were 'affected'.
Based on the description....the piercing business and some 'blood'....excited a few of the audience members, and they needed 'help'.
I paused over this....if this had been demon-movie from the US....shown to a German audience....probably half of them would have fainted and had to be carted out of the theater. In this case, it was nude nuns on roller skates....getting sexed-up, and some piercing got them faint.
The original 1923 version? It was probably a mild story-telling adventure, where you laid out a sexless society....triggered by celibracy....to get all hot-and-bothered over the lack of sex.
The 2024 version? I think the folks dreamed up the maximum shock factor of 20-odd nuns all hyped up on sex, and how you can entertain folks with opera-music in the background, keeping this up for an entire show.
Ticket pricing? 10 Euro.
Everyone in Germany now wanting to watch the wicked-nuns opera? Well....this AM....based on thrill content and saying 18 folks requiring medical attention....yeah.
What I would ask (being curious)....were the 18 mostly men, or mostly women?
