“Do you think a 27-year-old would want to have sex with a 50-year-old couple?”: arts center De Studio suspends director after publication Julie Cafmeyer | Antwerp

At the Antwerp arts center De Studio, the board of directors has decided that director Marc Verstappen must temporarily step aside due to an investigation into sexism and inappropriate flirting behavior. The reason is the publication ‘Life is but a dream’ by theater maker Julie Cafmeyer (36). It suggests that Verstappen abused his position during the period when Cafmeyer was associated with De Studio as a theater maker. “You can’t spend your entire career flirting with everyone and making sexually suggestive comments about ‘new tantra’ and then be completely indignant when someone speaks to you about it?”
