Recently the Sydney Festival has come under fire for accepting a $20,000 partnership with the Israeli Embassy in Canberra. The funds are to be used to stage Decadence by Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin at the Sydney Opera House at the 2022 Festival in January.
The collective also quoted Naharin from an interview in 2019 on The Times of Israel where the choreographer himself said ‘If boycotting a performance of mine will improve the situation in the territories or bring a solution the conflict, I will support the boycott myself.’
