Los 90 Produced and La Mandanga Producciones companies using their social networks We condemn the “censorship” suffered by the Municipal Council of Quintanar de la Orden (Toledo) decided to remove the series from the schedule ‘It is difficult’It is scheduled for next January 27 through the Castilla-La Mancha Theater Network and claims: “actors appear in their underwear“.
According to the production companies’ story compiled by Europa Press, the cancellation decision was conveyed in writing by the Mayor of Culture, María del Carmen Vallejo, on the grounds that the actors were seen in their underwear. “It could shock the public.”
According to them, the play takes place in a dressing room while the characters are changing. “Apparently they appear to be in their underwear. If the game were played in an arena, they would be wearing lights. And You need to know very little to censor something that has not been seen. Our show was performed in front of an audience of over 3,000 people, with audiences of all types including school groups; Because it deals with current and deep issues such as ”.bullying, suicide or sexual diversity“, they add. “We have received no complaints and have no evidence that anyone was subjected to the scandal.”
This veto “represents something” attack on culture“It is a mechanism that prevents others from seeing things that an administrator does not like or that disturbs him, and carries out a unique brainwashing exercise on backward and outdated concepts that not everyone values, using public money.”
“Today, no one can be shocked to see someone in underwear or a swimsuit. It is nothing more than an excuse to prevent the freedom of expression that guides the work. This cancellation is also an insult to the residents of Quintanar de la Orden, because the money to pay for our show came from the subsidy of the Community Board of Castilla-La Mancha and could not be transferred to anyone else. “There is no other action,” they complain.
