explanation about mata hari and temple dance:
mata hari was a dutch woman who was courtesan in Paris. she called her performance a sacred dance from the east. she was taking up different persona & pretending to be a woman who has been immersed in the Indian dance since childhood.
I am INDIAN, been living here since birth and there is nothing offensive in the MATA HARI Musical, nor in the dance that we saw in it.
This tweet will clarify the whole Mata Hari Temple Dance issue and shed some light on why kpoppies should learn more about history.
I second this! the acc who made the thread I originally linked in this thread was suspended, so I am currently looking for another thread from a Muslim that I can add. Please lmk if you have one
