Critic Gets Dog Poop In The Face From Ballet Director

Some people don't handle criticism well. Like this guy, you're about to hear about.

Marco Goecke, head of the Hanover State Opera's ballet company has been fired for assaulting a theater critic in the face with a bag of dog poop. According to reports, the ballet director saw the intermission of a show as an opportunity to give some payback for reviews he didn't like.

The victim, Journalist Wiebke Hüster, told CNN, Goecke berated her during the intermission. Then it got worse.

"Goecke rubbed the dog feces hard and most brutally into my face," Hüster told CNN. "It was in an open dog plastic bag which usually is tied up with a knot. I was completely guileless when he approached me because he spoke calmly, otherwise, I would have turned away, but his bright red face showed his excitement," she said. "The bystanders were paralyzed with shock while I was screaming and crying."

Goecke didn't know it, but his dog poop attack would be his last performance at Hanover State Ballet Company. He got canned.

The company said, "A trustful cooperation with Marco Goecke in a leading position is inconceivable for the Hanover State Opera after the assault on journalist Wiebke Hüster. Marco Goecke's irresponsible actions have deeply unsettled the audience, irritated the public, violated all the principles of the house, and massively damaged the reputation of the Hanover State Opera."
