Carolina Bianchi will drug herself unconscious on stage — but shock is not the point

Every actor wants to give their all on stage each night, but Carolina Bianchi takes it to extremes. At a set point in every performance of The Bride and The Goodnight Cinderella, the Brazilian artist takes something — a drug or a cocktail of drugs — that causes her to enter a state of consciousness.

The play continues around her, the cast undresses her. This escalates to a scene that Bianchi considers a spoiler, so I won’t share it here. The curious can find details online, but the artist feels it’s better to encounter for the first time in the theatre.
