Florentina Holzinger's theater production "A Year Without Summer" features explicit bodily functions, including a climactic scene where performers covered in feces attempt cleanup. The controversial Austrian director uses shock to explore aging, mortality and societal control of bodies. Holzinger says audiences, particularly caregivers, recognize the reality she depicts, and shock serves her artistic mission to confront human fallibility.
