The adaptation of Sancta Susanna highly controversially features explicit queer sex scenes, captivating performances, and radical interpretations—which led to 18 audience members needing medical treatment.
With an age rating of 18+, the opera includes all-women cast portrayals that challenge traditional depictions of faith and sexuality, pushing the boundaries of performance art.
The performance, described as a wild spectacle, merges themes of sexual liberation with shocking visual and physical elements, emphasizing a surreal reimagining of religious narratives.
The backlash it faced is reminiscent of the opera's 1921 cancellation; it explores the depths of sexual identity, nun portrayals, and provocative engagements with religious figures.
