The hunger strike in the protest tent set up by Saul Mizrahi in front of the Prime Minister's House has borne fruit, with the intervention of Culture Minister Hailey Trooper, who sought to help and match the current outline to the character of the Barbi club.

But as he celebrates and announces to the excited artists the gospel he encounters a new obstacle, inspectors demanding that he be evacuated. "We came to a valley equal to my delight, and we agreed on how we can open the place in a way that is good for us, the artists and the audience. But suddenly there came inspectors who decided that I was a violation of the public," Mizrahi said from his seat in the tent, "and asked me to leave within six hours. Intend to go. " Mizrahi later managed to get a permit from the municipality to leave the tent.

But if you've reached an agreement, why are you still here? And what does the new order actually mean?

"We did come to a routine of return with the Ministry of Culture, but we didn't get answers from the Treasury, so I can't go yet. The initial outline was that they offered to put up to 500 people in big halls like the Culture Hall, for example, which is irrelevant to the Barbary Club, because that ratio "I was supposed to seat 100 people. It's not profitable, uneconomical and not applicable. So it's clear to me that standing up is not possible right now and I respect that, but another solution had to be found, and when culture minister Hili Trooper talked to me and explained our plight to him," he said. To me we can put 75 percent of the usual capacity, sitting of course, while maintaining distances, which is already the order of 500 people on the show.

"So I dropped to 50 percent, and I'll put 500 instead of 1,000, but it's still a logical compromise. We decided that we would create a stage in the middle of the hall and hold 360-degree shows, so that period would not pass without performances, and I was already able to update the artists and everyone is very excited. I have also received support, artists do not stop coming and it is gratifying, but I do not fold away until we receive a compensation outline for April and May, we did not see a penny for three months and I wait for her.
