Protesters with Refuse Fascism unfurled an anti-Trump banner during an L.A. Phil concert in Disney Hall. What happened, and who is behind it?
At the end of intermission, a small group of unidentified people seated behind the orchestra held up a white banner that read in bright red, “Trump/Pence #outnow,” with refusefascism.org below that. Video of the moment shows some members of the audience applauding.
The banner fit with the festival’s goal of encouraging dialogue about the ways that the past — particularly the artistically rich Weimar era, which flourished in the shadow of rising fascism — connects to the present and presages the future.But Nana Bahlmann and Stephanie Barron, co-curators of the festival’s ancillary art and performance programming titledsaid the L.A. Phil had no warning of the protest.
