Fremdverstümmelung (2007)
Part of the Bonn opera production "Freax". Schlingensief's disabled protagonists initially move through the circus ring in artist costumes, as in Tod Browning's Freaks (1932), interspersed with and thus communicating with footage of their controversial opera performance in Bonn. Their initially cheerful procession turns into a passion play, with individual protagonists being symbolically crucified and thus once again mutilated by others.
