Will do. It seems the hand of censorship has fallen for now- hardly surprising for YT, huh, it was getting hardcore. I'd also appreciate vigilance, maybe they'll go to Vimeo etc. For me the highlight is still the large scale audience participation of 2017.
On that topic I had a question for VictorHugoBR, StaypuftBR and any other Brazilian friends. I spent so much time going through those audience participation sections that I'm actually curious about the context of the plot over that half hour or so.
My basic perception is;
1. The audience members are enticed up to play global powers/aggressors.
2. A female cast member then abstractly asks them to strip naked- or to use a topical phrase, demilitarise for peace.
3. Having done so, the entire cast and audience somehow become a metaphor for pre-conquest South American civilisations, and there's a section on colonialism etc.
4. Then there's the Luis Bunuel scene which I guess is about the appeal of 'Old World' culture and the Spanish Civil War;
5. Then the Black Jesus scene which, likewise, I imagine is about the interface of cultures;
6. Finally all stage participants unite in dance and song, about what I have no idea.
I guess I ask because I'm curious about how the audience members go from a standing start and various states of caution about disrobing, to becoming in the most part thoroughly delighted, entertained and dedicated participants.

This is exciting to watch because the performers are very intimate with the volunteer's body. They lick the volunteer all over, including thighs, buttocks, abs, chest, neck. The performers are happy to french kiss the volunteer if they initiate it. There was one performance I saw where a male volunteer made out aggressively with the attractive female performer for a few minutes, lots of tongue.
Please let me know (either here or via DM) if you are aware of moments of particularly intimate sexual contact like this. Even if you don't know the date of the performance, and just have a vague recollection from memory, I'm happy to hear about it and I'll keep an eye out.
Thanks in advance!
