Apologies Accepted

German Ballet: Art in Bad Taste


Listen Later

OK so here it is: Ballet is boring and stupid.  But not to Marco Goecke!  He takes his ballet as serious as sh*t.  He is a German Ballet choreographer and he recently smeared dog poo in a critic's face who had dared to criticize his work.   He's got a lot to say about how this critic hounded (ha!) him for years and he just happened to have a bag of dog poo in his pocket and maybe this wasn't his best movement (ha!) but really the media should consider this type of journalism more carefully because it is unfair...did you catch that he smeared dog poo in someone's face? That's a way of expressing oneself that leaves a bad taste in your mouth (ha!).

His apology is one that explains to the world that while what he did was wrong, it was not entirely undeserved.  The critic had been speaking sh*t about his work for years so maybe it was a time she got a taste (ha!) of her own medicine.  Marco has a lot to say for himself and we have a lot to say about ballet - and you can hear it all here on America's favorite apology podcast!
