It feel to be banned from working virtually overnight since march and not a cent has fallen into your wallet since then warm words are of little help here in the world today. Most of those who attended the demonstration have been directly affected by coronavirus restrictions. Came from distilled off she usually unsound money as a singer but shes been forced to take a Part Time Job at a butchers to tide her over one demand of the demonstrators is that all those affected should receive adequate compensation to cover fixed costs or you know it may be a moments thought i would have to establish what our Monthly Expenses are and then see what the minimum is that we need to earn and that has to be paid out we need to get compensation its not that were unemployed were not allowed to work. Hospitality and entertainment brunches feel that theyve borne the brunt of the coronavirus measures. With no end in sight patience is running out. And theres our director Thomas Alston from berlin saldana theatre joins me now hes just fresh out of rehearsals but also my are this is a major blow to artistic and cultural life here in berlin just as it was getting back on its feet tell me how are your plans and projects affected i believe you had an opening coming up and how are you feeling about this. Well were massively affect because we have to lock down from monday on and we have. Run several shows every woman was. Lost and ending up on our schedule and we were supposed to open on thursday. With a new show with the premiere of the answer book its which im actually rehearsing at the moment and we dont know what will happen we cant bring the crimea. So do you do you actually recognize the need for these new measures and do you feel perhaps that theyre justified to tell and with in respect to 2 theaters. Well i dont believe it justifies the because if you look at whats happening in atlanta and look whats happening in trains if you look at work sapping in other parts of our social life. Some parents get the feeling their politicians are trying to prove that theyre serious with the measurements by undocking cultural. Institutions in order to prove that the suv year we did everything in the make sure that there is no danger of infection our team on stage is tested twice a week with people in the audience you wear masks we have generic concepts and tearing cancer and as far as i know all there wasnt any spread event in any the show in any audience so. Critical. Ok now we also saw in the report there is criticism of the Government Regarding the support that the cultural sector is actually receiving do you share these criticisms and perhaps have concrete demands of your own. Of course i shared this because independent our lists were not on the permanent contracts. Are in high danger or are not so i having this crisis as an artist and i think theres an urgent need to make sure that all of these are this can survive the crisis socially and that the government has to make sure after they make sure of that for example of time that will survive they need to make sure that all the artist and all the artists in germany which me. This only hurts your but obviously obviously a great imbalance their welfare survive this crisis just quickly. Im sure that it will survive this crisis but im not sure that. The landscape will survive in the form what we had before corona crisis ok well heres wishing you all the best for this difficult fall season we will remain optimistic with you thanks very much for joining me Thomas Alston my own.

The right approach is that we hope to welcome people from across to your families not just to see fantastic exhibitions and cultural programs but also to actually take part lives of us with so much involving the public was a key element in the application stage the idea was to get locals to appreciate the city. As it is for when i was still at school with talk about where we were going to go when we left but with the capital of culture status people will see the city through new eyes and hopefully be more likely to stay with it and maybe others will move yeah.
