Ballet director smeared faeces on critic's face after bad review

Marco Goecke was apparently furious about a review of one of his shows by journalist Wiebke Hüster.

He allegedly confronted Ms Hüster during the half-time break of another show and smeared a paper bag filled with dog excrement on her face.

Ms Hüster's employer, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), said police were investigating.

The initial review of Mr Goecke's show, In The Dutch Mountains, was described by Ms Hüster as like being "alternately driven mad and killed by boredom".

Mr Goecke said he believed the damning review had cost the Hanover Opera House subscriptions and threatened to ban her from the opera house during the confrontation.

Hanover State Opera said Mr Goecke had been suspended with immediate effect, as his "impulsive reaction" went against its rules of conduct.

Apparently, this dork has never heard (or doesn’t believe) “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”.

As an aside, I suspect that he might possibly be a poofter ...

Bitch boy needs a beat down......I suspect if the review woulda come from a 6’5” 250 pound man the response would have been quite different if there was any response at all.

Putting your hands on a woman in that manner is for cowards.

...his "impulsive reaction" went against its rules of conduct.

Collect dog poo in a bag, wait for show and bring bag. Wait until intermission, find critic, deploy poo.

Very spur of the moment impulsive move, clearly.

German police can be somewhat vigorous when effecting an arrest.

Something only a homosexual would do. Did not bother to read the story.

Vincent Price and Diana Rigg did it better:

Theater of Blood

“A Shakespearean actor takes poetic revenge on the critics who denied him recognition.”

He's from the arts community in Germany. You certainly can't rule it out.

[Red Badger]

I’ve been to Germany.

You are correct!................

Brings new meaning to the term $hitfaced, I guess.

I always carry a paper bag filled with dog excrement, I never know when I’m going to experience an impulsive reaction.

Even if she's 5'2" and 110 lbs, she's still twice the man he is.
