In a separate note, the Michelangelo Theater said:
“Respect is a positive feeling that is characterized by considering the qualities of someone or something, cultivating empathy. Alterity consists in recognizing that people and cultures are different; they are diverse and have their own ways of thinking and acting. An altruistic person is one who thinks of the other before thinking of himself. It is ethical in considering this interest in others as a fundamental principle of morality.
It does not matter to us your religious belief, your political affinity, your gender, race or color. Yes, it is important to have fun and use this space the way they want to always be better than they entered.
Here we want energy exchanges in the stratosphere between artists and the public, we want happy faces at the exit, both audiences and artists. Before, during and after, inside we want respect, otherness and altruism! Gratitude for understanding this, today and always! ”

Nasi manifests

“We thought, for now, transfer to the future. Because there was a bombard of these fascists. Because they act in a fascist way. It’s funny because even the contractor said that he received messages from people from Manaus, something like ‘oh, I don’t go to the show’. Another for Christ.
