On Earth Day, climate activists from Extinction Rebellion targeted the performance of All Balanchine I at Lincoln Center, disrupting the show to protest against climate inaction. Their actions included blocking entrances and unfurling banners to demand attention for climate issues. Despite security attempts to manage the situation, the performance was halted mid-show due to the protest. Audience members reacted with mixed responses, showing both support for the performance and frustration with the disruption. The protest was part of a broader strategy to highlight urgent environmental concerns.
We are here on behalf of Mother Earth! one protester called out. The disruption was met with a chorus of boos. Shut up! one audience member called out.
Due to an issue in the house, we need to pause the performance. We are attempting to resolve this issue, an announcement said.
