A radical feminist opera which includes explicit lesbian sex scenes, real blood and injuries, and naked roller-skating nuns, has left 18 audience members needing medical treatment in Germany. Its provocative scenes left theatregoers reeling, with 18 suffering with nausea and shock and requiring assistance over the first two performances. Extreme performance artist Florentina Holzinger is behind the astonishing adaptation, which sees its all-female cast playing nuns who strip off their habits throughout the 'sensual, poetic and wild' show. The opera company recommends the performance to viewers who are 'daringly looking for new theatrical experiences.' 'This is an opera about the breaking forth of the repressed female libido, so we decided to have a lot of fun.'
