Can't say I like it, but provocative and nude performances in german theatres and operas is nothing new. It's part of artistic freedom - and that includes the freedom of showing bad taste, too, which happens often in german theatre and opera productions. Where freedom usually is accepted to eventually produce conflict and critical comment, or heartbreaking, hysterically exaggerated pathos - there must be freedom for the other extreme as well. That'S what it is about, this freedom. You either take both the light and the shadow - or you are left with only the darkness.

People are also free to buy a ticket - or not. that also is a freedom. the latter is the choice I would make. Was dem einen recht ist, ist dem anderen billig: we had the Fitna movie. Now we have the arab reaction to Fitna: .

And occasionally we also have tasteless theatre perfomances like the one in Germany. All that is freedom of arts and freedom of speech. In case of needing to chose - I prefer this freedom, than to censor it.
