German/Austrian modernist theater is somewhat prone to "blood and guts" (and nudity, and Nazis), so it is just the culmination of that.
I remember seen Schiller's "die Räuber" when a naked guy hacked the floor to pieces shouting "Life, Life!" or watching the Oresteia by Aeschylus with the Mykenaians all dressed as Nazis.
At least in Frankfurt they basically turn every classic into a sequel of "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS"
I've always wondered what they would do with a play about nude bloodthirsty nazis
:rotfl:

And since Vienna has Elfriede Jelinek, I suppose it ain't much different.
There's no art form more overrated than (contemporary) theater.
