At the Bolshoi Theater (Moscow, RF), during a closed showing of the ballet "The Nutcracker" for participants in the war in Ukraine, an inscription with an obscene word appeared on the stage. On Thursday, the theater called the video "fake," although they held a secret meeting over the incident.
This was reported by the publication Agentstvo and russian anthropologist Aleksandra Arkhipova.
"Now look at the snowflake dance - in the upper right corner. What is written on the snow? Perhaps this is one word addressed to the participants in the war, or perhaps two (the second word could not be visible due to the angle, trampled on or erased). It says D**k (perhaps to the war, or perhaps simply an address to the participants in the war). I like it!" she wrote.
Later, she added that, according to rumors, the theater had problems due to the publication of this video.
The Bolshoi Theater called the video "fake" and refused to comment.
A source of the Agentstvo, close to the theater, confirmed that the incident occurred during the morning show on January 5, which was attended by participants in the war against Ukraine. According to the source, a meeting has already been held in the theater to analyze the situation. It will be difficult to determine the author of the inscription. The source doubts that the author of the inscription will be found. There are no cameras behind the scenes. The word was probably written in the dark during the previous scene of the performance.
Recall that a scandal broke out around prima ballerina Natalia Matsak and premiere Serhii Kryvokon due to their alleged participation in a foreign production of "Swan Lake".
