Quiz: Do you know your rights?

Question

Am I supposed to understand something in a show?

Am I supposed to understand something in a show?

Not at all. Sometimes there’s nothing to understand, or else there are many possible interpretations. What’s important is what you’re going to feel during the show and what you want to imagine.

Question

Am I allowed to be bored during the show?

Am I allowed to be bored during the show?

Of course! You can take a little trip in your imagination, pay attention to details or just listen to the music in the show.

Question

Do I have the right to not find it funny, even if others are laughing?

Do I have the right to not find it funny, even if others are laughing?

Yes! All feelings are permitted. Yours are not necessarily the same as everyone else’s and that’s fine!
