Fundamentalist Christians threw dog dirt in the face of a top theatre boss in Nancy on Thursday, in protest against a controversial play on religion.
"I was leaving the national opera when a couple of fundamentalists, a man and a woman I believe, rushed towards me, tore my hat off and threw a container full of dog poo at me..." said Jean-Michel Ribes after the attack on Tuesday evening, French daily Le Figaro reported.
In December, Ribes had received death threats when the theatre he manages, the prestigious Rond-Point theatre in Paris, put on a controversial play about Christianity.
Christian radicals protested the play called "Golgota Picnic", directed by an Spanish-Argentinian director Rodrigo Garcia. The play features a trash crucifixion of Christ who is referred to has "el puto diablo".

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
