The poster for Peter Zadek's production of "Lulu" by Frank Wedekind in the Schauspielhaus theatre in Hamburg unleashes a storm of outrage
The Deputy Mayor of Hamburg protests against the poster.
A "German-Language Citizens' Initiative for the Protection of Human Dignity" lays charges against Helnwein and Zadek for pornography. The discussion about this image spreads beyond the borders of the country. The Mayor of the City of Vienna, Helmut Zilk, is enthusiastic about the poster and gives Helnwein his hearty congratulations
