Journalist Wiebke Hüster, attacked by Hanover ballet director Marco Goecke with dog excrement, no longer wants to see the choreographer’s pieces. “His future has nothing to do with my future,” she told the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (Wednesday / online). “I will never look at a piece of him again. And if the State Opera insists on continuing to hire him, I will not enter the house again.” She emphasized that in 25 years she had never been insulted.
On Saturday night, in the lobby of the Hanover opera house, Goecke smeared the journalist of the “” with dog excrement. He had previously accused her of always writing “personal and bad” reviews. Three days after the dog excrement attack, the ballet director publicly apologized – but at the same time made new accusations against the journalist in question. She reacted indignantly.
That night, she calmly stood in front of him and talked with him, she told the newspaper. “I had no feelings of guilt towards him.” She saw a world premiere by Marco Goecke in The Hague and wrote of it – “not without emphasizing positive moments”. She explained: “I am 57 years old. When you’re young, you can run away with horses. But I don’t just hit.” She didn’t want to “comment on Goecke or speculate on his motives or his state of mind. It was a horrible brief encounter that I ended up with.”
As of Tuesday afternoon, Goecke had said in writing through his manager, among other things: “I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone involved, first and foremost to Mrs. Hüster, for my absolutely unacceptable action.” the journalist worried and spoke of “often hateful criticism”. (dpa)
