História do Olho
 

@ KUNSTFESTIVALDESARTS X LES HALLES DE SCHAERBEEK (21-24 May 2026)


Inspired by Georges Bataille's scandalous novella of the same name, theatre maker Janaina Leite explores the relationship between theatre and pornography. The play follows the structure of the book to tell the story of three teenagers and their sexual escapades. Working with the Núcleo do Olho, Leite—one of the most intriguing artists in Brazilian theatre—recreates this dark fable as a magical, at times festive, experience.

In a fairy-tale setting, it shifts between the vulgar and the sublime, the mundane and the cosmic, the ordinary and the abysmal. Twelve performers—professional and amateur, some of them sex workers—take the audience on an intense, three-hour experience, with live music, theatrical storytelling, and live pornographic scenes. Leite and her cast enter into an intimate relationship with Bataille's work, inviting the audience to do the same.

Pornography becomes a theatrical form through which vital and destructive impulses are examined. História do Olho (“Story of the Eye”) explores taboos and questions our relationship with shame and lust, seeking collective insight and consent through performative transgression. Part subversive pornographic fairy tale, part radical adventure, it is a fundamentally tender and connecting piece of theatre that re-educates the gaze.

Does anyone have the DEP performance?
 

Apparently the DEP performance at Edinburgh was filmed and I have been looking everywhere for it. Does anyone have a copy of the show?

It was on YouTube. I remember not watching much of it because I had already seen live it twice and it wasn’t the same when watching the video. It was definitely something you needed to experience live.

Can someone remind me what the "DEP performance" was again? :confused:

Thanks

Naked people dancing.

Trailer: vimeo.com/316566069

As UVM said, yeah....naked people dancing lol! Here's another longer trailer.

hxxps://vimeo.com/226066597

It was originally at Ediburgh Fringe in 2017 and 2019. They had a video of the performance but I think it's been taken down. Hoping someone saved it somewhere.

I saw DEP in person and it was great. I was 2nd row from the front, there were about 5 people (2 female) naked dancers from what I recall. I recall specifically a part where the main lady was writhing on the floor and bent over and well, you get the picture. Would be nice to see a whole recording.

Regrettably an early preview of 'Equus' in London has advised there is no female nudity.

That's a bummer, going in a couple of weeks time. Seems my trips to London cursed at the moment will be my 3rd play 4th if you include Savrage and apart from 4 full frontal men Yentl is the only female nudity I've seen. Got Cleansed booked so fingers crossed.

More modern puritanism than cursed I would think. However if booked in the right A 'seat' the actors will be sitting in the next 'seat' for part of the performance.

Derriiere on a G String at King's Head Theatre now advises nudity in the contents warnings but though there are females in the show it seems more likely that will be male rear having seen trailers/photos.

This show still happens several times per year! The next one is tomorrow.

While full lineups aren't announced in advance anymore, I believe the girl in the attached photos will be there tomorrow. So this is your chance to hear her tell some jokes while you look at her naked pussy.

Probably not even that. Just been reading some reviews “scanty flesh coloured thongs and tops to stand for nudity”

Bess Wohl's 'Liberation' heading to London in 2027. No cast or theatre announced yet.

Maya Ricote: Ay Am!
 

Maya Ricote: Ay Am! had a preview in London the other day which featured full nudity at the end of the performance for about 30 seconds or so in average light which included her jumping about a bit. She is attractive with a natural body and very short hair (once the wig comes off).

This show is advertised as being part of the Edinburgh Fringe and though nudity was warned about for this London preview no nudity was warned about in a previous preview and no nudity is warned about for the production in Edinburgh. The warning is of strong language which I don't recall and audience participation which was very minor for a couple of people in the front row. The show is well under an hour so possibly the ending was added to pad it out a bit (it has nothing much to do with what came before) but unless they update the Edinburgh warning there must be a risk it won't have the same ending.

Did she have a full bush?

No she didn't.

Bald? Trimmed? Landing strip?

I've now seen Equus and can confirm no female nudity. They do make the most of the male nudity though with the actor playing Alan nude at the end of the first act for over 5 minutes ending with him jumping on the shoulders of the actor playing Nugget and riding round for over a minute. The scene everyone was waiting for started as normal but when they stripped it was only down to underwear, Jill was wearing a purple bra and knickers the knickers came high up over her waist but did ride up so you could see her ass cheeks and they were tight enough for her ass crack to be eating them but that was all you got, once Jill had dressed Alan stripped totally naked again and spent another 5+ minutes naked on stage, not the review you were hoping for but I thought I'd give you the details in case anyone was interested.

Thanks for the review. Shame Jill didn’t get naked, the actress who plays her is stunning. Maybe the next production will go back to the good old days!

anyone plans to visit the Austrian pavilion at the Venice Biennale?

Naked in the Bunker
 

Naked in the Bunker on in London this week has 2 actors (m/f) completely naked for the full play, a lot of very sexy scenes throughout, pretty erotic at times, both actors completely exposed too. Trying to get more info but the listing said A Loft in Shoreditch, but the email the person got with ticket says Factory Space in Dalston, so a little unclear!

Anyone know much about this?

The warning at Edinburgh has changed to, "This show contains strong language, audience participation, and nudity.", so you can make your own assessment.

Here's a review:

fromthestallslondon.blogspot.com/2026/06/naked-in-bunker.html

Sounds incredible. Hedda Carlsen is named as the actress in the review. I'm guessing this is her:

mandy.com/u/hedda-rustad-carlsen/

But the Facebook page for the theatre company names the actress as "Marina", so who knows. :confused:

Mujeres Leyendo Desnudas (Naked Women Reading)

Literary performance in Mexico City, Mexico. June 26, 2026. 6 PM. Inspired by NY's Naked Girls Reading according to this (in Spanish)

http://www.chilango.com/ocio/sexo/co...endo-desnudas/


Censored video, in Spanish: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb38a29vPHY

I Googled Genesis Burlesque. First time I hear about them. All I could find out is their Instagram: genesis_burlesque

Gorgeous girl!

The content warnings have been updated now, they are.

Recommended for ages 16+.

Thematic triggers:
This production includes prolonged nudity, torture, mutilation, murder, violence, sex including sexual violence and ******, suicide, drug abuse and drugging, as well as homophobic and misogynistic language and blood.

Technical triggers:
This production includes blackouts, flashing lights, latex and loud, sudden noises including recorded gunshots.

hmm sounds like it could be very explicit? but then it would be for 18 plus surely?

anyone know of any shows coming to Edinburgh this year which have proper full frontal nudity, like Trilogy did? Not going to travel for hours to see a hidden nipple or side pussy in the dark, but I will make the trip if there is a seriously good show on, so if anyone knows of anything please let me know.

I'm going to be there in late August but would love to share intel with my fellow perverts so we can all make the best use of our time! I'm going to keep an eye on reviews, but for now here are the shows I've identified as possible candidates.

• Nude (with a title like that it's either a marketing gimmick or a sure thing)
• Big Naked Variety Show (seems promising, but the lineup is different from one night to another)
• Riot Reveals a Manajerie of Mayhem
• Operotica: Lovers in Every Lifetime
• Fanny Bleach: The Nearly Naked Show
• XXX Revue
• Baby Everything
• Puck Bunnies

Anyone have any other possibilities?

Cleansed -
 

Judging by critics reaction and reviews this is only for people with a strong stomach. Evidently the sexual torture and bloodshed is very graphic. One comment that was made was that it was a 5star rating for the acting but a 2 star for the production as it was very explicit in it's portrayal.. Many people call it art but why is sex so often related with violence in productions like this?

Good point, but I think in the UK, mainstream/art theatres have 16+ as the max rating. I wonder if there is a strip club/porn stigma of saying 18+ ?

Holzinger Tanz in Dublin
 

26 and 27 September at the Dublin Theater Festival.

Nudity, fake blood, piercing and body suspension, depictions of masturbation, fighting, including with a fake gun.

Cleansed
 

I relented about attending Cleansed and being in the circle looked away at a blank wall during the extremely strong and largely male on male violence (though obviously could hear the screaming). A few people only walked out. Any part of the central area of the circle should be fine to sit. The sides of the circle are 100% side on and though people weren't particularly leaning forward there may be issues with the view. The stalls will be mentioned later.

Most of the nudity is from Chanda and photos online show her as very attractive. However, & presumably for this production, she has put on quite a lot of weight. The first nudity is where she swaps clothes. She quickly strips fully naked on one side of the stage, walks across the stage, turns round and quickly puts the other clothes on. So the full nudity can be seen both sides of the theatre but is brief. She is topless for longer before she is fully clothed again.

The next nudity scene is a 'sex' scene between her and her late brother. For this both are behind a partition wall which has very large windows. She strips fully naked and the brother kisses a breast briefly (or appears to). She stands at the back fully naked looking towards the stage and him away to the side facing the other way when they have 'sex' which lasts maybe 30 seconds and involves her standing in the same place moving about a bit (that is, away from the other actor). Being in the circle full nudity (full bush) from Chanda was clear through this scene and both this and the previous scene were in good lighting. It does seem possible however that those in the stalls couldn't see the full nudity in this scene due to the partition wall. They will have seen the topless part of the nudity but maybe not the bottom part. Not having been in the stalls it isn't possible to advise either way about that but there is the warning.

The third nudity from Chanda is brief & more limited with her showing lower front & rear nudity whilst climbing over the partition wall and going onto a bed. She is more clothed than nude for this.

Connolly is in underwear as a dancer (so not overweight) but there is dark red lighting for these scenes. Towards the end she comes out of the dance booth (which doubles up as behind the partition wall for the other scenes). For this scene please note the lighting is a fair bit darker. She goes to the front of the stage and takes her top off showing relatively small breasts whilst in close contact with the male character. They proceed to have sex and he appears to kiss a breast. For this scene they are very close together so not much is seen and despite some of the language used she keeps her underpants on throughout. When finished she gets up topless and moves back to the rear of the stage. She either then leaves or it goes dark & she leaves; I don't quite recall.

Elsewhere someone has said those sitting in the front row of the stalls would be splattered with 'blood' so be warned about that also!

Thank you for the detailed report! Can you give any more details on what Pearl's body/bush looked like?

Thanks for the review, I also managed to see this over the weekend looks like we could have been at the same performance. I had seen a recording of the National Theatre's version of this so kind of knew what to expect, not sure if I've got a strong stomach but the violence seemed quite tame compared in this production.

The nudity has been reviewed already above and is accurate, in the third scene Grace strips she's totally naked for about 20 seconds moving from the middle of the stage to the left hand side as you look at it, then turns round to face the other way to put on underwear and jogging bottoms, when she puts her top on she keeps it on her head so she's still topless and then has a sort of melt down for about 40 seconds before she covers up.

The second nude scene is with Grace and her brother, this ones weird as they do a dance then strip each other, Grace again is facing the left hand side of the stage while this is happening before moving to the back of the hallway behind the partition facing the audience, I had the same thought at the time that the people in the stalls would not have seen the full frontal only the ones in the circle as the partition was over waist height.

Grace then get's ****d by some imaginary guards where she bangs herself against a wall until she pulls down her joggers behind the partition and simulates sex, she then climbs over the partition onto the hospital bed that's been there for the whole show still with her joggers round her ankles and with her back to the audience so you have a clear view of her backside, then as the scene progresses she turns round but with her legs bent so you can see her bush but nothing else, the scene finishes with Women the erotic dancer starting her show the lights go down on the rest of the stage and Grace pulls her joggers back up in the dark.

There is a scene where Tinker asks Women to spread her legs and play with herself but this was done facing the audience with her hand down her knickers but nothing was seen.

The final nude scene Women leaves her booth for the first time to be with Tinker, this takes place at the front of the stage to the left as you look at it with Tinker sitting facing the right side and Women siting on his lap facing the left, she removes her top Tinker had already stripped partially and then they start making love, all of this is done in the same position so if you sit on the right hand side of the audience I'm guessing you'd only see her back untill they finish and she gets off and turns round for a split second to face the right side of the stage then she walks to the back of the stage along the left hand side turns to the right and climbs onto the bed so she can get through the window and leaves the stage rear left still topless.

Comparing this production to the National Theatre there was defiantly less nudity in this one, the National Theatre had 4 male and both female actors fully nude, as for this one I was surprised that the actors protected from the nude scenes were all the men which with my experience of London this year is unheard of, Grace was the only one that stayed true to the script with full nudity, maybe having a female director helped.

As for seating I was also in the circle row A at the left of the centre block, this had good views of all the nudity especially the scene with Women as she was right below, I think the end blocks would struggle when the actors are close to the side doors on their side of the stage but would see everything else.

there’s a wealth of naked stage comedy this month at edinburgh. australian comic paul sav/age is doing two shows every single day of august with different lineups. there’s a standup show and a variety show. guaranteed nudity on both, although it’s a gamble on whether it’s someone you’d want to see, since the lineups are different night to night. but with the sheer volume of nude stage time and the number of comedians who are all in town for the fringe, there’s bound to be plenty worth seeing. very interested in hearing reports from anyone who goes.

any of these have clear prolonged full frontal hot slim female nudity with good lighting? I would make a trip for that, but not into any dark, brief flashing, unattractive women.

A big part is finding out but seeing great shows regardless, I might think?

Evita Too is performing, a preview version of which is mentioned in this thread. Whilst I would go again if in Edinburgh anyway & also not seeing another show, I wouldn't spend hours of travelling for it. I've no idea about where they're performing or good seats other than close to the front (where audience interaction happens).

Saw a couple of shpws with amazing nudity at Edinburgh fringe last night.

First was a one woman play 116 grams; Aplay to lose weight whete the acress is completely nude for virtually the entire show. You get amazing close ups as she is literally a few feet from aiduiencefor large parts.

The second show was the Big Naked variety show which featured three ladiescomp,etely stwrkets all wiyh really nicw bodirs.
The fitst performer was an absolutely stunning girl who lookec like a model but was an acrobat and was on stage with large hula hoop. She had an amazing body and a gorgeous smile.

The second naked female performer was an Australian comedienne who has a nicebody with a really prachy bum and lovely bush with nice pert tits. She was on stage for wbout 10 mins. What made it bettrr in hindsight is she is relatively famous 8n Australia but not as acomedienne,

The f8nal performer was a sexy dark haired contorsonist who managed to get hrr lithe and athletic body in some amazingg positions. She had a really nice body with lush dwrk bush and a peach of an arse.

The entire show was under amazing lighting so everything clrwrly on dieplay. The good news is while the comedians change every night , the acrobwt and contoronist are apparently going to be performing at every show, so no matter what night you go you areguaranteed some gorgeous nudity.
