Wow, what a bizarrely artistic combination! A gimmick you might say? Perhaps! But I think the weird factor is the point of performances like this.  :laugh:

So much of culture is clothing.
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one."

Friedrich Gulda was also known for experimenting with performances and the public image of the artist; he performed nude as a concert pianist on television (probably one of the first examples), and launched the fake news of his own death to the media.

Theatrical performances in the nude are more common; one example is the rock ballet "The Triumph of Death", which was played at the Royal Danish Theatre in the 70s and later, actually with huge success
