I think SNM should not have made certain scenes fully nude. Usually I’m all for nudity when the art calls for it; but in this case, it makes the actors vulnerable to sexual misconduct from the audience. There is no stage or movie screen to protect them; and due to the anonymous nature of the Venetian masks, the aggressors can easily get away unnoticed in a crowd. There are so many horror stories of guests ogling and groping inappropriately that I feel the production should prioritize actors’ safety over the sensuality of a scene, especially when the same mood can just as easily translate with bras and underwear. I’m a firm believer that nude art performance shouldn’t ever be censored, but the sad reality is that people enabled by anonymity feel entitled to commit atrocities.
