Wow she stood still while someone slashed her throat to drink her blood. That’s commitment.

The stuff they did boggles my mind such as cutting her with thorns, sexual assault. I don’t understand do they think because it’s “art” it isn’t a fucked up thing to do to a person?

I can't believe how there wasn't a single person in the audience who tried to stop anyone. Other than the person who took the gun away from her head. Still. No one stopped the people trying to injure or assault her. No one called anyone out? It's sickening.

Yeah, that's not what's written in the Wikipedia article.

Faced with her abdication of will, with its implied collapse of human psychology, a protective group began to define itself in the audience. When a loaded gun was thrust to Marina's head and her own finger was being worked around the trigger, a fight broke out between the audience factions.

I should stop trying to read things when I haven't slept.

Now I'm wondering why the entire audience fled when she finally moved. No one stuck around to ask if she needed help or anything?
