The damage control is along the lines of:
The performance was about Dionysus the Ancient Greek god of feasts, celebration, and performance (thus the long feast table which is depicted in the famous painting the "Feast of Dionysis"). I'm sorry that so many saw it as a mockery of their religion, but that was not the intent.
Was this all a clever move to bait a reaction from Christians? The jew cries out in pain as he strikes you.
