BRThe satirical play 'A Igreja da Fran' by performer Rafaela Azevedo, which critiques the political use of religion, was canceled after some tickets were sold. The production, part of a trilogy exploring gender inequality and societal norms through exaggerated performance, faced security measures at its premiere. The event organizer, DC Set Eventos Ltda., attributed the cancellation to a 'contractual issue' and denied any connection to the content. Rafaela accused the decision of being censorship, emphasizing that the play did not receive public funding and was financed through crowdfunding. The play uses provocative elements such as religious imagery and humor to challenge traditional roles and power structures.
