Scandal in Poznań theatre

On Monday, November 9th, Poznań Grand Theatre has witnessed a scandal involving the assistant director Anna Świderska-Schwerin and Israeli dancer Ofir Levie. When just before the premiere Levie pointed out to his superior that she should lower her voice backstage, she replied with an anti-Semitic insult. After the play ended, the artist has written to the Israeli embassy, describing what happened. As soon as director Michał Znaniecki got back from abroad, assistant director Świderska-Schwerin has been sacked. The Embassy of Israel is in the course of elucidating the sad predicament.
