On 30th August, a number of activists from Dundee travelled through to protest outside the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre where, Israeli dance company, Batsheva were performing as part of the Edinburgh International Festival.
Batsheva were targetted because they are part of the Israeli state sponsored Brand Israel campaign. Hundreds took part in a lively protest that involved singing, chanting and ticket burning on all 3 nights that Batsheva were performing in Edinburgh.
