Cirque Du Soleil sagt North Carolina Shows ab

Auch Cirque Du Soleil sagt aufgrund der neuen, homo- und transphoben Gesetzgebung drei Engagements im US-Bundesstaat North Carolina ab. OVO wäre vom 20. bis zum 24. April in Greensboro und vom 6. bis zum 10. Juli in Charlotte aufgeführt worden, und TORUK - Avatar hätte vom 22. bis zum 26. Juni in Raleigh Halt gemacht.

Das Unternehmen schreibt in einer Mitteilung:

Cirque du Soleil strongly believes in diversity and equality for every individual and is opposed to discrimination in any form. The new HB2 legislation passed in North Carolina is an important regression to ensuring human rights for all.

We therefore choose to cancel our scheduled performances of OVO in Greensboro (April 20-24) and our scheduled performances in Charlotte (July 6-10) and our scheduled performances of TORUK – Avatar in Raleigh (June 22-26).

Cirque du Soleil believes in equality for all. It is a principle that guides us with both our employees and our customers. We behave as change agents to reach our ultimate goal of making a better world with our actions and our productions.

We sincerely hope that the customers that have purchased tickets for our performances in North Carolina will understand our motivation and we look forward to performing in North Carolina when this issue is addressed. On-line and phone ticket purchases will be automatically reimbursed and in-person purchases must return to point of purchase for refunds.
