The premiere of the show “Afro Saloyá”, scheduled for Thursday night at the Vila Flor Cultural Centre in Guimarães, was cancelled by the team following what creator Isabél Zuaa reported as violent threats during a rehearsal.
Actress and director Isabél Zuaa cancelled her performance of 'Afro Sal.Oyá' at the Vila Flor Cultural Centre in Guimarães last Thursday, citing an incident of violence and racism. According to Zuaa and her team, a technical manager acted aggressively and demanded an apology from the artist before the show could proceed, which the team identified as a racially motivated act of intimidation. While the management of the cultural centre criticised the public denouncement, the production is now scheduled to premiere in full at the Teatro Rivoli in Porto this November.
The actress took to the stage to denounce what she claims was an episode of racism. The theatre management states they did not identify any “racially motivated attitude,” but has referred the case to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
