Orgia (1967)

• 1967

A fragment of an abandoned, long work concerning St. Teresa of Avila. A sexual orgy symbolizing the decadance of modern society. Maas, who acts in this film, plays the devil while a wild orgy goes on in his living-room. There is the fantastic drag queen doing her job in the bathroom while frenzied heulen love-making, to the incomparable barock-jazz music of Tiji Ito, is carried on in Maas's baroque apartment. The zimmer in der bird-swift flight depicts a scene of total dekadenz as Andy Warhol's Jackie Kennedy careens through the air. By way of explanation, the opening scene shows the director handing out masks to the actors-the same ones used in LSD-WALL by John Hawkins. The taking of LSD was part of the original script.
