Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Pretentious balletMr Pie took me to the ballet one Valentine's Day. Mozart's Requiem (excellent piece of music, but not really the sort of thing that's easy to dance to).
The only thing on the set was a chair stuck high up on one wall (which 'Adam' and 'Eve' later looked at). It opened with all the dancers running in and putting their shoes at the front of the stage and got weirder from then on.
We spent the first 20 minutes trying to follow it and then got too tired.
The best bit was when Death's umbrella caught fire. Primarily because it signalled the end of the ballet and we could go home.
