Just like the world cultural world, this Israeli is also severely hit by the terror of the Corona virus. In light of the government's instruction on what can only be described as closing the gates of cultural institutions - dozens of events, productions, performances and launches planned to take place in the near future have been rejected or canceled altogether.

Perhaps the biggest and most significant event canceled so far is the Cirque de Soleil show in Israel. Shakespeare's production company, Believing to Produce the World-renowned Circus in Israel, said last Saturday: "Following the outbreak of the Corona virus and the directives prohibiting the gathering of more than 10 people, the Cirque de Soleil group will not be able to hold the show "Kooza," which is scheduled to take place in Lyon and Tel Aviv in the coming months. "

In addition, the group announced on Friday that it is stopping its performances worldwide, for now. Production in Israel was scheduled to begin on March 15, the Gani Joshua Infrastructure Project ahead of the show's arrival, but in light of Israeli Health Ministry guidelines, which effectively prevent professionals and Cirque de Soleil workers from entering Israel and limiting crowds, "and out of concern for the health of viewers and staff, The project will not be possible now. "

Another visit by an international artist that will not occur in time is that of singer Enrico Messias, who was due to return to Israel, this time during the tour "Israel, hug me in your arms". Massias was scheduled to perform with the Raanana Symphony Orchestra between May 17 and May 27, but his performances have been postponed and new dates have already been set for the fall (with the aspiration, of course, that the global crisis is coming to an end by then). The performance scheduled for the Ashkelon Sports Hall on May 17 will take place on September 6; The performance at the Haifa Convention Center went from May 19 to September 3; The evening at the Nation's Buildings in Jerusalem went from May 20 to September 10; The performance at Netanya King's Amphitheater will be held on September 9; Massias will be attending the Performing Arts Center in Be'er Sheva on September 12, as well as appearing in the Tel Aviv Cultural Hall on September 15 and the following day on the 16th. The tickets purchased are pretty good for the new dates.

Russia's National Ballet Theater under the direction of Vyacheslav Gordiev, who was to perform the magical "Swing Paris Swing" and "Swan Lake" ballet around the country, announced the postponement of the performances and announcement of new dates soon.

One of the most notable events being postponed is the Fashion Week in Tel Aviv, which is scheduled for March 15-19 - that is, during this week. The mega evening attracts many fascist and fashion enthusiasts every year, but it does not go according to plan. The announcement by Moti Reif, the main producer and entrepreneur of Fashion Week, states that a new date for the festival will "be set soon." "The decision to postpone fashion week was made with a heavy heart and out of public responsibility as a result of the situation," the statement said. "I have no doubt that Tel Aviv Fashion Week will be back soon with great vigor, and we will be happy with our excellent Israeli fashion."

And more cancellations: Incubator Theater shows will be canceled from Sunday until a new announcement, due to the new guidelines, as well as the entry of some of the cast for the isolation. Currently, Poetry Slam shows will be held in a limited format and will go online to benefit the general public. "Fury", the new performance of the "Amulet" dance troupe, which premieres March 16 at the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv, is canceled until further notice. As are most of the planned plays of the Be'er Sheva Theater, which announced that it "will operate on alternative channels under the Ministry of Health restrictions and guidelines" and that no theater plays will be held until April 16. The new dates will be announced separately below.

At the Beit Zvi Game School and the Library's Repertory Alumni Theater, the "Collaborators" and "Best Friends" performances were canceled at this time. "Sustainability and the big city" - a Dizengoff Center sustainability event that was scheduled to take place from March 26 to March 28, has been postponed - and an announcement of its new existence will follow. As is the Carmel Quartet "Baroque Avant-garde" concert, hosted by harpsichord player Izhar Karshon, scheduled to take place at various times across the country from March 29 to April 3.

"Art / Doc", a new artist film festival dedicated to video art with an emphasis on the documentary field has also been rejected. The festival was scheduled for March 26 to 28 in the new Artport building space in Tel Aviv, but will not be held at this time. "The guests of the festival from abroad who were about to host and present their films will not be able to come to Israel in the light of the new guidelines," announced their organizers, and we will announce that they will announce a new date for the event later.

A musical performance that has already set a new date is that of the Angelsi band at the Tel Aviv Cultural Hall, scheduled for March 28. It will now take place on September 19 and, as planned, will be attended by the Israeli Camerata Orchestra and another choir, conducted by Gon Ben Ari. "We are here to tell you that because of the huge Apache that the world is currently undergoing, we are rejecting our performance at the Culture Hall," they said. "You can't currently seat 2,500 people in a (beautiful) room to see a (beautiful, in our opinion) concert. As a manifestation of humanity's future, we're moving our night in the hall and rescheduling it for September 17 ... It's really one of the most beautiful things we did, to our taste, and we feel It will be worth the easy wait until you come to hear already. We'll go through the summer and then we'll see. " A new date has also been set for the festive Shabbat reception for the Revivo project, and will now take place on June 19 at Hangar 11 in Tel Aviv in the format of a 360 show.

Another musical act that rejects all his performances at this time is the Andalusian Orchestra Ashdod. All concerts scheduled until the end of March are postponed to more suitable dates, which will be announced later. However, the orchestra announced that "it will continue to conduct rehearsals, master classes and musical activities in accordance with the Ministry of Health's guidelines, and will keep in touch with the audience through digital media and telephone."

The kibbutz dance band announced it has canceled a month-long tour to Germany, Austria and Switzerland, scheduled to take place from March 12 to April 1. On the tour, the band was scheduled to present 13 performances of Rami Beer's work - "Asylum" and master classes and workshops. "The decision to cancel was taken after consultation with the Ministry of Culture and the Foreign Ministry," the band said. "The cancellation means a downfall of more than a year's preparation work, huge financial losses, a risk of claims by the invitees and a threat to the band's reputation." In Israel, the band cancels its many performances in the dance village at Kibbutz Gaaton, its seat, and in various educational settings and halls across the country. Also, the Revolution Orchestra will not stage the production of "The Roosters - Remix", which is scheduled for this past weekend as well as this coming Tuesday at the Haifa Auditorium.

Among the museums that stop their activity at this time, the Tower of David Museum can be named, among other things, which all events from March 15 (ie - today) are postponed at this time. As is the Jewish People's Museum at Beit Hatfutsot, which is closed to visitors from today until a new announcement. In addition, the launch of the book "The Great" by Yaron Fried about Yaakov Agmon, as well as the celebration of Agmon's 91st birthday, planned for Friday March 20 at "Tzva" in Tel Aviv, were postponed. A new date for the festivities has not yet been set. "We will all wait until rage passes and meet when better and healthier days come," Agmon said. Indeed, and hopefully these will come soon.
