Paderborn Cathedral in Germany hosted a performance on May 15, 2025, featuring semi-clad dancers waving plucked chickens wrapped in diapers, as part of the 'Westphalia Side Story' during the region's 1,250th anniversary celebrations. The cathedral chapter expressed 'sincere regret' for offending religious feelings and initiated a review of event approval processes.

The performance, attended by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Archbishop Udo Markus Bentz, included dancers singing a parody of 'Live Is Life' while handling raw chickens. Public outrage ensued, with over 22,000 signatures on a petition demanding a formal apology and reconsecration of the cathedral.

The 'Westphalia Side Story' performance aimed to reflect the rural and turbulent history of Westphalia, incorporating elements like raw chickens to symbolize the region's agricultural heritage.
