Last week, on her Facebook page, a dancer who participated in the filming (she left following two days, disgusted), posted the following text, addressed to the singer:
“You who defend the values of social justice, why did you choose Abyssal production which does not even seem to care regarding remunerating cultural workers decently?
Is it really consistent?
150€ for 5 days of work (rehearsals, fitting and shooting outdoors).
Contracts, terms and workloads revealed following casting result.
Planning email received at night or at the last minute.
Disregard and lack of professionalism on the part of the organization and the choreographers for the dancers.
Not to mention the waffles as catering…” […]
At our microphone, the young woman confirms her words. “We knew the shooting days, but not the rehearsal days. So for someone who works – there were teachers, there was a bit of everything… – it was very uncertain how to organize for this week, “am I going to have to cancel lessons”, etc. Initially it was a paid project and when we learned that it was 150 euros for the five days, we was already somewhat involved in the project. […] We expected compensation. For me, remuneration is an employment contract, it is not a reimbursement. If we want to offer 150 euros for such work, it is ok in some cases. If the project calls for volunteers, then yes.
