Hi!
Just wondering, if you've produced/directed Zolidis' Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon, have you received any kind of push-back regarding the content?
Specifically, has anyone taken offense to the Mexicans tasting "spicy," or that a kiss between Mother Earth and Rapunzel might seem "kinky?"
We are trying to produce it for our middle school, and the teacher directing it has brought up some of those concerns.
Hoping I can put her mind at ease a bit- but looking for any evidence that parents might get huffy about the content.
I, for one, don't see any of those things as offensive, but they could be seen as micro-aggressions or the like, and clearly we do not want Middle School students to be harshly scrutinized in that respect.
Would love a conversation. Let me know if you have any thoughts.
Thank you, colleagues.
