A has taken a toll on the cultural sector including on the summer festivals this falcon still rocking in germany. I think. You know whats it like in venice where there have been more fish than overseas tourists. How is moscows art scene reviving after the strike lockdown. And how cells work celebrating the 100th anniversary of its festival a cultural tour of europe and the time. It may seem as a ghoulish normal on stage in salzburg austria with the ensemble is performing Richard Strauss opera electra but there are strict safety rules in place at the festival and its hardly normal outside salzburg is not as it was the city is almost empty the atmosphere is subdued. This was not have a summer Music Festivals 100th anniversary was supposed to be. But its a minor miracle that the festival is happening at all with the covert 19 pandemic festival president head out of it starred land made it possible. To insist i would have been ashamed of our current us if wed not had a festival this year. After all it was founded in a time which was much more difficult just after the 1st world war when there was hunger and misery. Cool is essential to our festival is essential. Martin culture are essential in every countries and maybe a little bit more and austria. All team members have to wear masks here theyre transposing props with a festival favorite who go from hofmann taz year every man. There. They go blue it is one of the actors in vietnam and he says that the physical distancing regulations go against his social nature but hes glad to be on stage again even if the new circumstances took some getting used to. Im glad that theyve let some people enter. Even if the black crosses between the seats are reminiscent of a Military Cemetery knocking fruit off. The cross ensure that people dont sit too closely to one another. As a sort of. Course or you dont react with the same enthusiasm when youre wearing a mask just. Then you cant just tap the person next to you to laugh. Thats no longer possible skeeter to. This years edition is not as big as planned there are 110 performances instead of 200 and only half as many venues as usual with less tickets as well. The measures are part of a safety concept which director look has kept overseas. The avoiding him is the us and i dont want to be presumptuous but i think that this is almost like a dress rehearsal for the cultural industry and for how things are going to go from september october etc. Or here boy i know we want to send out a signal of hope but i also want to show what pragmatic steps can be taken to keep the risks and a minimum giving. I. I. This is certainly one of the more unusual at this in the past 100 years. The employees who direct him a kind heart and the playwright and poet who often hawkman talk founded after the 1st world war to promote peace through. Many of the great conductors of the 20th century like a tutor toscanini have about one carry on and nikolaus agnel cool helped shape the festival as did actors such as hellmuth luna and famous singers such as Elizabeth Smart cops and elisa horton badda and jessye norman. The taking of her of this is festivals is called the sun to take by mozart who was born in salzburg. Its the 1st time that you are now my age is conducting at the festival. She has to be tested on a regular basis because at 19 but she says she doesnt mind the safety guidelines at all. Since i was worried because theres a huge gift to be allowed to do this this here stuff the family people cant at the moment but in southwark we can play mozart and i have to admit that the special rehearsal conditions the concentration and also the seclusion took me fine because of the type of its a lot of fun. The banks the night dreaming needle than usual were able to see the opera inside the venue yet missed it was also different. Small since they were quite a smile throughout the whole performance of the body of the force of the convict. Oh yeah also like maybe in such a situation people concentrate much more on the essential you know not much talking not many receptions or premier parties either. Political parties just music would like. To if those insults but also seem pleased in spite of precautions and restrictions. If i was glad to see something again after 6 months i usually go to the opera a lot so its fantastic to be able to do that here you. Need to give some thought. To this we fixed it for me whats important is that salzburg dared go ahead even though all the other festivals are cancelled. But although the festival went ahead worries about the future remain. This pandemic period its very difficult financially. Weve got half as many audience members as usual. And this is particularly difficult for a festival like ours which is funded mainly by ticket sales not by public subsidies. Which people know the cops and had people calling cards in the homes and im extremely sad almost depressed in that side its tough to live through a time when its almost inhumane to touch one another i think its one another its hard and this is emotionally. This festival and us being a one off experiment or want to pave the way for other cultural events around the world for now at least the show will go on. Russia has approved the 1st facts in against the coronavirus but there are doubts about whether this is safe or effective. Many russian artists do not trust their political leaders even though they too are enjoying their newfound freedom. All right the it. District lockdown is over for months those living in moscow waited for this moment among other then use the citys bins of vodka contemporary art center has finally reopened artist alisa yes it is really. To no longer be limited to online interactions. Hello magic your hands yet you can follow their. Pen demick is only presence including at this exhibition a pictorial depiction of coronavirus infection. How does the time feel to you this time is also wearing a mask its the new black where the mobile was. Being stuck at home for months gave us time to think about new projects so it was a productive time. Many have come not so much to see the art here but should be seen and to socialize. During russias lock down leaving the house was only permitted in exceptions. Aliso your says spent his time in his cell in studio creating political art he had no shortage of material. Russian police have arrested dozens of people at antigovernment rallies alisa says authorities use the lockdown as an excuse to crackdown on the opposition she published new pledges discussing this online. The russian government use the chrono virus as an opportunity to push through constitutional reforms and then put in power. Nobody was allowed to protest during the lockdown it was only listed for people to go vote. Moskos triumph ask gallery has dedicated an entire show to the pandemic. One of the lisa your friends works the persecution of dissidents is also on display. Other artists have contributed pieces criticizing states of aliens using q. R. Codes. By the police are slated to gain new powers over these they will be allowed to search cars without a warrant and use guns and situation in jerusalem. When alisa needs to clear her mind she likes to go to the russian countryside. This is the nicola lane of a park some 200 kilometers southwest of moscow with its 600 hexis its the largest open air venue in europe. So happy to get away from our flats in cities which were feeling like tonight ive been craving our culture and fresh air. The park with established by nikolai police ski who made most of its artworks the 63 year old works together with local pharmacy call him uncle called. His project gives many here a source of income depend emic did affect the parks. Like a pretty we didnt have any visitors in april. We also didnt get any money. So we have had to postpone the completion of one art project. By the more. Sexiness the lockdown was lifted in june this week turned russians are not here traveling internationally so many are vacationing in their home country. But not everyone is heeding all coronavirus Safety Measures as i think many are taking the situation seriously thats a problem. That in the Design Hotels is staging its post lockdown concent. Attendees were asked to donate money in support of struggling artists many private moscow Art Galleries have gone bankrupt so moscow artists began helping each other i could spread it across the artists have bought works from artists a need thats keeping at least some money flowing on the art market. Even though the lockdown has been lifted russias art scene finds itself in financial trouble and in a dark political time. Uneasy yatta is concerned about president putins unfettered powers and fears he will continue using the pandemic as a pretext to further cattails the validity of. His. Life has returned to the famous kind of grandeur and venice. Attractions and museums have reopened. And tourists who have returned. Nothing certainly arent back to normal yeah. Thats a glassy one of venices top art museums is now open just 4 days a week the photos of yourself now be it was supposed to be on show here starting in march but the lockdown prevented that. Since april but you know the scene has been the director here now he can finally do more than organize a digital stopgap basically we present works of art which are to be seen physically. Fortunate enough to have big spaces so we can had 2 or 300 people at the same time in the issue so even if the rules are strict we can keep our spaces open. One place thats always open to visitors is p. R. So some knuckles amongst the foot hurts. Even with social distancing the lines in front of st marks the silica a much shorter than usual. Then it has visited but it isnt overrun the hordes of tourists that normally descend on its museums and other rich. Actions are missing 3 zeller romeo is a tour guide to the nations favorite district as does the duel with its traditional crop of people i could see in saudi around the c. C. S. The hour or so we are here we are getting to the place where 2 ladies are running in a square and that for the 1st time in their history. The family run square or both chant from one team is an institution around a quarter of all the gondolas and then is with built here these days they only repair the deciles. After they father died 2 years ago the pair of sisters took over running the business now in assists generation. In the future they hope to share their knowledge with tourists. With colored we can review the tourists in venice i think that the right way is the culture because venice not only from a square react to bridge or theres a lot of knowledge in there any so we love to work here we love to learn and also we love to welcome people who want to know do the work. Is one of them she supports dorothy an initiative by local residents Business People and artisans to maintain the existing infrastructure and promote another kind of tourism. Venice is not a theatre its something you have to come here and to live in so you will have an experience of a different kind of life where you know everyone you talk with everyone and at the same time you have a Global Cultural sound. Louisianas 2 is a primarily about meeting people based in venice who create something new and unique through their craftsmanship. Plunks artist simone regularly welcomes visitors and is happy to let them look over his shoulders. So when i come here with my guest its just an amazing experience for them and to meet all these people so for me this is. An example of more than anything in the sense that everybody thinks modern if he is fast modernity is industry whereas then its can show a decent concept of modernity. The discovery of slowness is a boon for the citys people and its Natural Environment then it is thinking about its old treasures in a new way and tourists are profiting too meanwhile the allison old with whom a shipyard must make do without the biggest event of the year than a spin on a the International Art and architectural exhibition has been postponed due to the coronavirus so the grounds themselves have become the attraction that situation right now was no longer paying attention to college as they culture was no longer an active im sure that there be analysis is a poll of attraction for many that that that he she a high quality of soul in the end the fact that they are not a is missing is going to affect the artist in the gym to me with the countries normally have their civilians and welcome schools of good steering to be in on a whole is quiet. Instead there are now free to and for small groups the social distancing and moms. Guide to explain the architectural history to visiting a. Fish who is a popular still somethings missing. Equips so she gets a little fancy with the said he is so important and can accommodate so many cats it is a sort of an immobilizer fire that fire and restore. Whistle we hope that will change gradually over time. The suspect has to be on the gun so much. That hes the nations really want to return to the old normal over to build bridges and packed museums many agree to me normally would be better and then it is cautiously reinventing itself. Some are a special season in germany but this year and that has begun last they are small and inventive. At the linn silent dream Cultural Center the audience is experiencing a new kind of concept a shared musical experience that respects physical distancing musician martin bass is pleased to be performing live again. With ease that it was about you dealing with this crisis and finding a way to turn it around. Or lets say when what was normal was taken from us and i think thats because i prefer to play with my band members than the we started to realize how much it meant and i really missed you playing live the whole social. Sign and screen which is in it for mccormick tory and had never organized outdoor concerts before but it turns out that they have certain advantages. They also have and often people feel good outside and we can accommodate a lot more guests at a lower cost but thats less expensive to clean up after an outdoor concert than if the concert hall the lower behind me has been packed. I think its clear the other way isnt possible and so bought it so its great that people are coming up with Creative Solutions starting to have something even if its outside on a meadow with a distance and headphones is already good but. Maybe thats less because time Music Festival couldnt go ahead at all this year if it only sold 140000. 00 tickets people could choose to have the tickets truncated to next year or reinvest the festival spend 5000000 euros on me. Be common to be off until now are we going to get through this crisis financially weve been hit massively i dont survive this season thanks to the partners im going to buy a supply of. Them for. My. Big events like the fuckin little festival has also been postponed plans can only watch power. Things will also remain quiet. Located on the site of the former strip mine people usually come here to concerts and festivals now there are only a few happy campers enjoying this city of going and its a small consolation manager you know. Our losses this year amount to several 100000 euros as we count on and you know that were in talks with the local government about compensation to date and i know suitable supports talking about it but were in intensive discussions and are all trying to find a way to balance things out on so that in 20 or 21 we can use our own modern helpless and ive been. At times i dont think you can. Put those in crisis some decided to pretend. Theyre calling on politicians to limit the cultural industry which continues to face hardship. Will want to put the gun or the diverse events that exist in for 30 or 40 years cant take place right now so we cant generate any revenue not going there Neither Party organize. Nor those venues up nor those who do the ads nor the artists. So many are falling through the cracks. But this isnt about losing a lifestyle many are missing being able to come together and celebrate. So much playing makes me happy even when i am a little. Parties and happy. Its a feeling i can and when i leave here and im not. Even happy about markets right now i need to show im not crazy and thats why im here. To kill and government knows that punk and event organizers are in serious trouble at the moment and have promised to set up an Emergency Fund with millions of euro. Germanys diverse culture. Were not Wild Party Animals we can definitely tour and were happy to do all those legal rights being organized at the moment arent helping our cause by that. All the noises are coming up within 15 years wasted party. Life players please. Drive with space for 600 big. Help our children so youre the only one listening to thank yous and they radio. Thanks for. The party goes on the board of regulars enjoy themselves outdoors dont follow social distancing and hide. Like you. Didnt clean it and then. You also dont want the challenge we face is how to take the situation seriously while also enjoying ourselves weve found a great compromise here despite all the strict rules which i support wholeheartedly.
