After the first and partial signs of recovery were finally seen recently in the world of culture, it is once again going to shut down following the closure that was decided to be imposed tonight in the government.
The decision on the closure lands on the cultural industry, among the most severely affected by the Corona crisis, less than two weeks after the approval of the outline of the cultural halls under many restrictions, and is expected to lead to further delay in their opening.
For example, the big theaters that were supposed to open next month - almost certainly will not.
Producer Guy Besser, one of the owners of the Bluestone group, is furious at the decision to take a closure that will once again put the world of culture back on hold.
"It is very disappointing that after a long struggle to open up the world of culture, we have reached a place of closure at short notice, without a clear outline for return after closure, without orderly exit stages as in any European country," says Besser to Walla!
culture.
"People were left without money. They opened a compound in Hadera, Zappa invested in Hayarkon Park, we were supposed to operate in the exhibition grounds, bring back workers, take commitments to artists and clients for activities ahead - and it all goes down the drain with a wave of the decision. "And it needs to be addressed, but that's the root of the problem - how is it handled? It is managed in an incomprehensible way, perforated like Swiss cheese, and with uncertainty on both the economic and planning side of how to return."

"When making a closure, there should be a clear procedure for when it ends, how to get out of it, when the gatherings return, in what order of magnitude and what the compensation lines will be," Besser adds.
"The culture industry is bleeding, and it's not straw that broke the camel's back, it's a camel's knife that crumbles it until next year. We have no planning certainty, we do not know how to prepare for winter, none of the professionals talk to us. It does not help that we are told to open and two days "Then they close. Until the economy started to get air, they beheaded the industry in Mecca, without telling us how to conduct themselves for the winter and business events."
"In addition, no one checked whether the capsules we made now had adhesions or not. I estimate 85 percent of the industry complied with the guidelines. We asked to do a guidelines campaign for the public and no one got involved. Now we are all left in the dark again, uncertain and sent to change 2021 bleeding. "Some of us are mentally exhausted from this. I call on decision-makers not to make reckless decisions to set up round tables and plan what to do after the closure, as early as tomorrow morning."

"The feelings are very hard, very confusing, feelings of helplessness from the fact that you can do nothing to move the wheels of culture," says Walla!
Culture Ran Guetta, director of the Cameri Theater, on the shutdown of the theater. “We brought back workers in June because we were supposed to open in July, we were prepared for that and it did not happen.
"The next opening date was supposed to be October, we brought workers back, and after a few days I had to tell them to return to the IDF. These days you build plans every day, and two days later they may change."
"I understand the rise in morbidity and also see the difficulties people are having these days to purchase tickets," Guetta adds, "trying as little as possible to take it personally, not go crazy or freak out, and think only about the next step - how we manage to open up and also get people Ours, the actors and the workers who are behind the scenes, who will have a source of employment. This is one of the things that worries me the most at the moment - the long months they have been in the IDF.
The sickness amounts are so low that many of them have already run out of savings and run into serious hardships at home, at the level of rent payments and food purchases. We have set up an aid fund, which has already raised over 500,000 shekels, and help people finish the month with dignity. Status in this way? "
"We have an excellent outline and it will wait for the moment when the level of morbidity decreases. I think the theater is definitely a safe source of entertainment, with all the restrictions and rules we will adhere to. It has not been proven that there is infection in places of entertainment and theater and I believe it will not happen in the future." It was supposed to arrive since we returned workers in June, and at the moment the aid is conditional on the opening of the halls on October 20 and the return of 70 percent of the workers. We do not see how this happens, and we are afraid that this aid will go away. Aid must reach all cultural institutions. If he does not, we will have a very big problem. "

Tzipi Pines, director of the Baruch Ivcher House Lessin Theater, said: "We are in an economic, social and cultural disaster.
We have twice been prepared to open the theater, set play dates, inform the actors and staff.
The program crashed again and again and we were back to square one.
No planning, no horizon and no hope.
Still, I believe in the power of the theater, it will come back big and win the Corona. "
