After two months without activity, the Buenos Aires theaters returned to work this Friday night, in which it can be considered, since the beginning of the pandemic,
the second reopening
in the last year and a half.
Cinemas also reopened
, following a series of measures and protocols to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Some requirements for cinemas:
30% capacity
, distance between seats, disinfection of rooms, spaced functions, mandatory chinstrap.
You can see
12 films
, one of them is a re-release, and the ones that stand out the most in box office aspirations are
Cruella
, with
Emma Stone
starring in the story of Cruella de Vil, an iconic Disney villain, who hits theaters with a punk aesthetic , and
The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It
, the third installment in the saga.

In the theater, the rules of the game also imposed a capacity reduced
to 30%.
Luis Brandoni, Moria Casán, Soledad Silveyra
and
Mauricio Dayub
are some of the few names of the return.
Is that the news came in a hurry, without prior notice, and that is why the
neo-beginning
of the activity, this Friday, is more similar to a postcard of the confinement than to the old normality prior to confinement.

The cold, the Selection ...
Some will say that the National Team party, plus the cold, and some other etcetera, conspired against the desire to once again have
the artistic presence of the actors
ahead
of them.
The truth is that there was time to put in a box everything that was needed so that
The accompaniment
, with
Luis Brandoni
and David Di Napoli (
Multiteatro Comafi
) would resume its functions.
Also
El tightrope walker
, the almost classic by Mauricio Dayub (Chacarerean), and
Headquarters
, in Picadilly, among a few other works.

At the door of the Multiteatro, Corrientes al 1200,
Carlos Rottemberg
, in charge of the complex, was cautious.
"This is what there is ..."
, he said, realizing that the piece with Brandoni, on Friday, had sold only
25 seats.
“The capacity, for now, is 30 percent.
Next week it changes to 50.
On November 13, when the first reopening was made, we had sold only four tickets
.
Opening - continued Rottemberg - is more expensive than having the theater closed.
But this is like the Game of the Goose: we pushed back boxes and what we had recovered, we lost ”.

Sheltered is little, invites you to think about your withdrawal symptoms.
He says things like,
"I had to come"
or "I didn't even care how much I had to pay for admission."
Few, and warm.

Rottemberg, producer and president of
AADET
(Argentine Association of Theater Entrepreneurs), is the businessman who when the pandemic started hung a sign that somehow announced a historic
closure of Corrientes Street.
Covering the canopies, a ghostly sheet covered the pieces that should have been on the bill at the Comafi Multitheater.
“Let's lower the curtain to take care of ourselves.
There will be time to go back to the theater ”.
And time passed, but today Friday, except for the lady anxious to return to the theater, despair does not seem to have been a common place.
No queues around the corner,
no apparent need to do something different.
Queuing.

Rottemberg believes that this step is "a step in line with an improved health curve that we will have to follow closely to see how it evolves."
At eight-something at night, Corrientes is a desert.
“This is going to take two more years to get back to what it was
.
The capacity is decided by the public, ”says Rottemberg, raising his eyebrows.
The movement returned to
the San Martín Cultural Center
, with
How many are many,
a work directed by
Valeria Lorca
on the murders of women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
In cinemas like this the seats are blocked.

Carolina Ortú
, press of the Cultural Center, was quite satisfied with the 50 tickets sold.
"51".
Of course, the price of $ 350, equivalent to half a large mozzarella, should help.
"Fifty out of 80 seats allowed, it is almost a full room."
Now the tour takes us through Broadway, where there is a strange, festive climate.
The work headed by
Flavio Mendoza
,
Tres empanadas
, had, according to
Darío Grupenmajer
-producer of the show- "300 tickets sold" between individuals and commercial agreements with different unions.
In Picadilly (Corrientes 1524) they announced the
Headquarters.
There is still a while to start the work and the outlook is a bit sad.
From the box office they explain why:
"Did we sell twenty tickets?"
