At the press conference it was said that the municipal cultural institutions are held as part of the outline with shows and events tailored to it.

Thus, the Cameri Theater presented a reading excerpt from a new play called "Love and Plague," which will deal with four isolated couples at the Corona Hotel.

The play, which will be staged after the theaters open, was directed and directed by Irad Rubinstein, starring Keren Moore, Neta Gerti, Nadav Assulin and Nadav Knights, and was written by Bat Chen Sabag, Jason Danino Holt, Yoav Shoten-Goshen, Irad Rubinstein and Gur Koren .

In the reading excerpt from the play, which was held before the journalists, the Moore Foundation plays a prostitute who was invited by a man staying at the Corona Hotel, played by Assouline.



Nadav Assulin, in the emerging play in which you participate in the Corona Hotel, there is a character of a prostitute played by Keren Moore.

Hundreds of years ago, in ancient and dark periods in history, the status of actors was the same as that of prostitutes.

Is this the government's degrading attitude towards culture in the last year?



"Yes. I do not want to hurt the employment of prostitutes and escort boys, but there is a feeling that the cultural world has not just taken a hit but a very, very big slap. The feeling is that artists have always volunteered to help every patient, and every crisis in the country. Not that I expect everyone now to say 'Oh, the artists donated so now let's donate back to them'. I say art has power. It was not just born. Theater, music and performances is something that makes a restart of the soul, "Optimistic. But there's a feeling in the last year that they're just locked us in the rooms and just scared us. And everyone has shut themselves in, in their own trouble. We are champions at such events in the country. There are more holidays here than any other country and religion. So where's that joy?"



Although Cameri CEO Ran Guetta was not present at the press conference due to his isolation, he said: “We all hope that this will finally happen and we will open the cultural institutions to the public.

We are preparing and preparing for the opening with a variety of chamber performances.

We will work in a green complex and make sure that all the actors and staff are vaccinated as well as the theater spectators who are vaccinated and / or equipped with a negative test for Corona up to 48 hours back.

Many tasks lie ahead and we will meet them all.

The main thing is to keep the players, the technical staff and our audience healthy. "
