The ballet director of the Hanover State Opera has smeared dog excrement on a newspaper critic at a premiere. In a statement, the state theater confirmed the incident at the premiere of a new ballet piece. BERLIN — A German newspaper critic had animal feces smeared on her face by a ballet director in the city of Hannover after he apparently took offense at a review she wrote.
The newspaper said that Goecke, who apparently felt provoked by a recent review she wrote of a production he staged in the Dutch seat of government, The Hague, threatened to ban her from the ballet and accused her of being responsible for people canceling season tickets in Hannover.
What a sh*tty thing to do 😁
