[KavkazUzel] Several phrases were cut from the comedy performance "Tsol's Wedding," which had previously caused criticism from the muftiate. The performance was returned to the repertoire of the North Ossetian Academic Theatre.
As the "Caucasian Knot" has reported, the comedy performance "Tsol's Wedding" based on the play by Georgy Chedzhemov was removed from the repertoire of the North Ossetian Academic Theater due to claims by representatives of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of North Ossetia, who did not like the mention of the Prophet Muhammad in the play.
The DUM of North Ossetia was outraged by the scene in which the main character Tsola, pretending to be a Turkish merchant, forces another character to convert to Islam and takes a promise from him "not to torture the poor people", while mentioning the prophet.
The artistic director of the theater Givi Valiev and acting director Chermen Dudati explained to the muftiate that the theater did not aim to offend anyone's feelings, and the performance was a success with the audience and never caused such a reaction. The entire dialogue of the characters is fully consistent with the play by the author Georgy Chedzhemov, staged for the first time in 1981, they emphasized.
Several phrases will be removed from the scene, which caused disagreement with the leadership of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of North Ossetia, in the new screenings, the "Osnova" reported today, citing theater director Chermen Dudati.
