A group of fundamentalist Catholics prevented Tuesday evening from holding a concert, deemed "satanist" by Swedish artist Anna von Hausswolff.
It was organized by the Lieu Unique.
"A handful of intolerant radicals is causing the cancellation of a concert in ND du Bon-Port scheduled in agreement with the bishopric," tweeted Bassem Asseh, first deputy mayor of Nantes.
The concert, scheduled for 9 p.m., was sold out.
Opponents of the concert blocked the entrance, resuming religious songs as a group.
đź”´ SUPPORT for these young Catholics from #Nantes who are mobilizing against the holding of a profanatory concert in one of their churches! @ Diocese44, you have planned to limit traditional masses but this kind of performance does not bother you ?? pic. twitter.com/88I7ek2Xvv

“Some fundamentalists have therefore succeeded in preventing a concert.
(…) This strengthens us in the idea that in the face of obscurantism, we need more than ever the light of the arts and culture, ”tweeted Aymeric Seassau, Culture Assistant.
"A lamentable manifestation of intolerance and attack on cultural expression," also tweeted Olivier Château, deputy for Heritage at the town hall of Nantes.
Anna von Hausswolff is a post-metal and experimental rock singer, pianist, organist, and songwriter.
