Female tourist, 28, is arrested after stripping NAKED and gatecrashing sacred performance at Bali temple, parading alongside stunned dancers

This is the shocking moment a German tourist sparked outrage by stripping off and crashing a sacred performance at a temple in Bali - in a naked rampage which could see her face almost three years in prison.

Darja Tuschinski, 28, was denied a ticket to a Hindu dance show, before allegedly pushing past security and removing her clothes in a bizarre protest. 

The backpacker was caught on camera striding confidently past dancers before posing on the platform above them and forcing open a large set of gilded doors.

When a local man tried to stop her, she curtsied at him, appearing to mimic the performers' movements, before walking off the platform to kneel next to a shrine as if in prayer.

Shocked holidaymakers sitting in the audience watched as the tourist continued her naked procession, making her way back on stage, before security staff intervened and the area was cleansed of its 'bad energy'.

Furious staff rushed over and detained Darja for disrupting their show, before handing her over to police in the Ubud district of the popular holiday island in Indonesia.
