The Swedish puppet play featuring bonking Barbies has taken the theatre world by storm, blending explicit sex scenes with intricate dollhouse sets. Directed by Erik Holmström, Malmö Dockteater adapts Jackie Collins's debut novel into an experimental production that pushes boundaries.
What Is the Bonking Barbies Show?
This puppet theatre adaptation of The World Is Full of Married Men uses reconstructed Barbie dolls to depict raunchy, bed-hopping action. The show features 14 dollhouses, two puppeteers, and live video close-ups.
Why It's Controversial and Captivating
The production includes headless Ken dolls with real hair and Barbies with drilled crotches, staying true to Collins's graphic romance novels. Holmström dreamed of making an audience "secretly become a bit horny" through puppet theatre.
