The Spanish dancers on the pole were disqualified from the championship for demonstrating the swastika, which they "folded" from the bodies. This is reported by the newspaper elDiario. es.
The Catalan group InGravity Studio decided to bring not only flexibility and plasticity, but also an anti-fascist message to the Pole Spain international championship. During the performance, the girls folded their bodies into a swastika, and in the background they showed military chronicles and shots with Nazi greetings.
The actresses claimed that their number was a criticism of the Holocaust and the rise of fascism during World War II: the dancers portrayed peoples who were persecuted by the Third Reich, writes elDiario. es.
The jury did not appreciate the idea and disqualified the dance group for "inappropriate content". The organizers of the tournament explained to the girls that a large swastika and Nazi greetings can be deeply offensive and shocking, regardless of the artistic intent, and it was not necessary to bend on a pole in the shape of a swastika to reveal the anti-fascist idea.
