Calls have escalated to boycott the artistic performance that Algerian artist Nawal Medani will present at the Mohammed V Theatre in Rabat on April 1st, due to controversial statements she made earlier during her appearance as a guest on a French program, where she presented an offensive image of Moroccan women, describing Moroccan women as practicing witchcraft in a demeaning way.
These statements sparked a wave of widespread anger among Moroccans, who considered that what the artist said insults Moroccan women and the cultural image of Morocco, demanding a boycott of the artistic performance in protest against this behavior. Additionally, a number of those interested in cultural affairs have called on the authorities and theatre institutions to review Nawal Medani's participation in the show, and to ensure respect for the dignity of the audience, stressing that art should be a bridge for rapprochement between peoples and not a means of offense or provocation.
