New Delhi: More than 50
protestors under the banner of the Indian Campaign for the
Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (INCABI) Sunday demanded
boycott of a musical production by the Israeli ensemble Cameri
Theatre here because the theatre group allegedly serves as a
propaganda tool for the state of Israel.
The theatre group's production of the musical "Stempenyu" was
being held at the Siri Fort Auditorium as part of the sixth
edition of the Delhi International Art Festival.
Organisers of the Delhi International Art Festival had said
earlier that they would go ahead with the production as scheduled,
as the festival is a forum for cultural diplomacy, where all
countries having diplomatic ties with India are invited to
participate.
The production began at 7 p.m. amid tight security with protestors
shouting: "No to Israeli apartheid!"
The protestors also distributed pamphlets and urged guests to
desist from watching the play.
