They have also booed the audience that arrived for the performance, with shouts such as «Murderers, murderers!» and «You are an embarrassment.» Various spectators have responded with insults. Las entradas han sido agotadas para las tres funciones. La reunión se ha organizado a iniciativa del movimiento global BDS (Boicot, Desinversiones y Sanciones), respaldado por la Red Solidaria contra la Ocupación Palestina (Rescop) y varios grupos de artistas. Among the participants was the Spanish choreographer and dancer Nacho Duato, who was one of the first to call for the boycott through his Instagram profile, in a video where he asked the Community of Madrid to cancel the performances and reminded that the mobilization in France led the company to cancel its tour in Paris and Montpellier for security reasons. En redes sociales, el cineasta Javier Fesser ha señalado la empleo de fondos públicos en este proceso de contratación. Se observa una concentración de personas afuera del Teatro del Canal.
