Theater About "Virgin" In Decay and Curse Cancelled

The cultural centre in Havelange, Belgium, has cancelled the blasphemous play Madonna (non) grata, which was due to be performed on 27 March.

The play aimed to depict a figure called "Virgin Mary" as a fallen virgin trapped in a decaying, mould-infested sanctuary. Her body is described as decaying and diseased yet unnaturally immortal. She exists in a paradoxical state - both sacred and corrupted - surrounded by an atmosphere of decay, curse and degradation.

CathoBel.be published a critical opinion piece and a petition against the theater on 13 March. They called for prayer, reflection and letter-writing, emphasising the importance of acting in a spirit of charity.

The cultural centre cancelled the performance, playing the victim. They have been subjected to "harassment", "intimidation", and "xenophobic remarks", hypocritically insisting that they did not intend to offend anyone: "The performance is in no way an attack on the Catholic religion, the clergy, or believers."
