"The chaotic protest was executed by the newly formed “comedic interventionists” group — dubbed Goofballs — and activists with the environmental advocacy group Climate Defiance, according to sources familiar with the matter."
"Davidson Boswell, 34, of Harlem was charged with criminal trespassing after he decried late billionaire mega-city-arts benefactor David H. Koch from his seat while two activist buddies stormed the opera house’s storied stage in Lincoln Center and waved banners about 9 p.m. Friday, police said."
“This production of ‘Carmen,’ in which the opera singers are depicted as ICE agents ripping families apart is clearly meant to criticize ICE,” Boswell told The Post in a statement."
