Turkish theatres struggle to survive amid pandemic | Video

Istanbul, March 27 (EFE / EPA), (Camera: Erdem Sahin).- Arts and culture sector in Turkey are struggling to survive amid the pandemic, which forced authorities to close theatres and venues for months.

Lockdown began on March 16, 2020, and marked the beginning of months without income for dozens of Istanbul companies. The theatres reopened in July, but then they faced another difficulty: the fear of going out or spending time in closed places.

The following implementation of a night curfew and the weekend lockdown did not help. However, for some companies, the situation represented the opportunity to reinvent themselves.

This is the case of the Adam Theater, which broadcasts its performances online.
