Performance Canceled at Cine Teatro João Verde
The scheduled presentation of the play 'Ninguém' at the Cine Teatro João Verde in Monção, Viana do Castelo, which was set to feature actor António Capelo, has been unexpectedly canceled.
Official Statement Points to External Reasons
In a post on the Cine Teatro's Facebook page, the cancellation was attributed to "reasons alheias" (external reasons) beyond the entity's control, leaving the specific causes unclear.
Controversy Surrounds Actor António Capelo
This cancellation comes at a time when António Capelo, 69, is embroiled in controversy following multiple sexual harassment accusations from former students. The allegations have prompted the Inspeção-Geral da Educação e Ciência to open an "investigation process" into the Academia Contemporânea do Espetáculo (ACE) in Porto, where he previously taught.
Broader Implications for the Arts Community
The situation highlights ongoing issues within Portugal's cultural sector, raising questions about accountability and the impact of personal conduct on professional engagements.
