The prosecutor's office of St. Petersburg has banned minors from attending the scandalous play "Hunting for men." This is reported by the portal "Paragraph" with reference to the relevant document, which requires raising the age limit for the audience of the performance.
"On behalf of the Prosecutor's Office of the Leningrad region by the Committee for Culture and Tourism of the Leningrad Region, the subordinate institution of which is the LO GBUK "Drama Theater on Vasilievsky" branch of the Palace of Arts of the Leningrad Region, the age limit for the performance has been changed from 16+ to 18+," the document says.
It is claimed that we are talking about this particular performance.
As EADaily reported, the entreprise performance has been going on for many years, but has repeatedly caused a mixed reaction. In 2019, a performance with half-naked heroes in Makhachkala (Dagestan) at the House of Friendship caused a terrible scandal and outrage among the public. A Russian athlete, UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov joined the offended spectators. Then the producer of the production and one of the main actors had to publicly apologize.
In early June, activists of the human rights center "Forty Sorokov" appealed to the prosecutor's office of St. Petersburg with a request to check the performance with Nastasya Samburskaya and Stanislav Bondarenko for compliance with spiritual and moral values.
Public figures indicated that the footage of the performance is freely available on the Web. They also called on the organizers of the event to check for violations of the law on the protection of children from information harmful to their health or development.
