A world-class football club deserves a world-class stadium, and BarÁa’s mammoth Camp Nou is certainly that.

Sex, nudity and lewdness are frequent themes in the often disturbing, surely polemic and resoundingly popular shows of the experimental theatre group that calls itself The Fury of the Sewer Rats.
