An enormous crowd of people turned out to watch an execution in the Middle Ages. The prisoner was sentenced to have big chunks of his flesh torn out of his breasts, arms, thighs and calves. His body was then dismembered by four horses. Some theorized that this condemned victim was mentally ill, and that he committed this crime and then paid this punishment. And these days, would have been seen as psychologically unbalanced.
Pain is at the root of most drama and entertainment. When does it get too real? This very disturbing and graphic show looks into some case studies and asks some deep questions. WARNING Very intense subject matter.
