As this video shows, she did get quite naked … well, actually, the poor resolution and compression of this video leaves out so much detail that you have to infer some things.

However, the video appears to show some incredible audience interaction. Juliane Elting dances up and down the stage, choosing audience members (men and one woman, some of whom she hauls up onstage) for various erotic mini-scenes. At 2m56 she has impaled herself on a guy's finger, at 10m56 she's humping another guy's face -- it appears quite real, although the poor video quality may leave you with some doubts.

According to info I found on the internet, Juliane Elting is indeed a German actress. She is now back in Germany, but she spent 10 years in Brazil with Teatro Oficina. She has a number of short mostly non-nude videos on Vimeo.

This play is supposed to be based on Plato's Symposium (dialogue with speeches in praise of Eros). Aphrodite makes an appearance in some of the speeches. Zé Celso overlays Aphrodite with "Pomba Gira." Wikipedia says that, in certain syncretistic Afro-Brazilian religions, Pompa Gira is a "spirit who personifies female sexuality, beauty and desire," and who "is depicted as a beautiful woman who is insatiable."

Online translation of the Youtube comments in Portuguese run from "It looks like a Satanic cult. How horrible," "Thing of the devil: nudity, drumming, mentions of iemanja," and "Horrible the way Zé Celso uses the elements of Afro Brazilian culture" to "Ive been going to the wrong theater" and "i wish the video had better quality!"
