Excerpt:
A Belgian theatre apologised Friday for placing newspaper advertisements which sought actors for a new play who had fought for the Islamic State jihadist group or killed their siblings.
The theatre in the city of Ghent was looking for recruits for a show by Swiss director Milo Rau -- who attracted controversy last year by casting children in a play about a notorious Belgian paedophile.
“Have you fought for your convictions? For God? Have you fought for IS or other religions? Get in touch,” read one of the adverts for the NTGent theatre, which was published in a Dutch-speaking free weekly newspaper.
Another with the same NTGent email address said: “Have you killed or seriously injured your brother (or sister)? Perhaps metaphorically? Do you want to talk about it?”
