Publicly funded pornographyThe play XXX, based on the Marquis de Sade’s 1795 novel “Philosophy of
the Bedroom” has been much in the news recently. Performed by La Fura
Dels Baus, an experimental theatre company from Barcelona, it has recently
opened at the Riverside Studios in London. According to the press release, the play tells the tale of the perversion of
a young girl called Eugenie by a group of liberated young things led by the
sensual, calculating and manipulative ex-porn star Madame Lula who claims to
have sold 46,000 rubber models of her vagina. Her assistants in this
venture include the philosophically sophisticated, narcissistic, selfish and
vicious Dolmance, and Giovanni (her brother and gratefully incestuous partner).
The journey from innocence to perversion to madness ultimately inspires Eugenie
to extract revenge for her moralistic upbringing by organising the gang-rape of
her mother. It features threesomes, foursomes, a live link to a dildo-wielding woman in a
peepshow, fellatio, cunnilingus, sodomy and genital mutilation. Director
Alex Ollé says “this is not a show where people should come out thinking
'that was nice' ”. The company claim that XXX is sexual, emotional and
psychological dynamite, ignited by a profound and spectacular
audio-visual-physical barrage that is inescapable, unavoidable, awe-inspiring
and often unwatchable. Well, well. Each to his or her own. No-one should object to
private individuals watching the "unwatchable", and are pleased to see
that most of the funding seems to be coming from the paying audience assisted by
co-sponsorship from the Spanish-based pornography publishers, The Private
Organisation. However we do object to the Riverside Studios getting involved as hosts and
co-producers? Riverside Studios receives extensive funding from the
taxpayer via the Arts Council for all sorts of politically correct artistic
boondoggles. This year they got £162,290 for their “New
Audiences Programme Year Enabling Diversity”, whatever that means. 26 April 2003 |
