Non-work safe link -- La Fura dels Baus, a Spanish theatre group touring a highly charged sexual extravaganza, aims to heat up the scene. Their play, based on the Marquis de Sade's "Philosophy of the Bedroom", did just that and more with Hamburg audiences last week.

Hot? That's one way to put it. Vivid representations of incest and rape, tapes depicting bestiality, and players performing sexual acts and public urination took every opportunity to engage the crowd…into a fury.

A portion of this play was removed after protests spurred a police investigation. How much is too much in the name of art when what can seem like exploitation to one may be the exploration of the human mind and body to another?
