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?

La la lahuman steps. or human sex. or whatever.
They have different titles, but every single performance consists of the blonde woman in a filmy dress and army boots flinging herself around on the stage, doing these horizontal twirls over and over again. She never falls so I guess that makes her a dancer. Or a cat.
Also, La Cirque du Soleil, though they're too popular and commercially successful to be considered alongside all the heavily subsidised "art" in this list. Still pretty pretentious.
