has blood on it from the limbs that have yet to heal. what should be done with the stone or from africa. this is being hotly debated on both continents. showing soul starts september 7th d w. such. as crystal i've been craving art culture and fresh air. you can't talk current no way right now people in the cultural sector and artists have to be the ones coming up with the idea that you can expect politicians to understand exactly how this business works to get. here also the challenge we face is how to take the situation seriously while also enjoying ourselves.

corona has taken a toll on the cultural sector including on the summer festivals falcon still rocking in germany. i'm sure. you know what's it like in venice where there have been more fish than overseas tourists. how is moscow's art scene reviving after the strike lockdown. and how salzburg celebrating the 100th anniversary of its festival a cultural tour of europe and the time.

it may seem as a bill is normal on stage in salzburg austria with the on some of those performing richard strauss' opera electra but there are strict safety rules in place at the festival and it's hardly normal outside salzburg is not as it was the city is almost empty the atmosphere in subdued. this was not how the summer music festivals 100th anniversary was supposed to be. but it's a minor miracle that the festival is happening at all with the covert 19 pandemic festival president hegar harbor to stardom made it possible. to insist i would have been ashamed of our current us if we'd not had a festival this year. after all it was founded at a time which was much more difficult just after the 1st world war when there was hunger and misery. is essential to our festival is essential.

who are going culture are central in every country and maybe a little bit more and austria. all team members have to wear masks here they're transporting props with a festival favorite who go from hofmann taz year every man. they go blue it is one of the actors in vietnam and he says that the physical distancing regulations go against his social nature but he's glad to be on stage again even if the new circumstances took some getting used to. i'm glad that they've got some people when at least. even if the black crosses between the seats are reminiscent of a military cemetery i'll be free to offer. the cross' ensure that

people don't sit too closely to one another. that there is a sort of. course you don't react with the same enthusiasm when you're wearing a mask just. then you can't just tap the person next to you to laugh. that's no longer possible skittered it's real. this year's edition is not as big as planned there are 110 performances instead of 200 and only half as many venues as usual with less tickets as well. the measures are part of a safety concept which director look has kept us overseas. the boy here and so i don't want to be presumptuous but i think that this is almost like a dress rehearsal for the cultural industry and for how things are going to go from september october etc. or the avoid i know that we want to send out a signal of hope but i also want to show what pragmatic steps can be taken to keep

the risks and a minimum giving. i. i . certainly one of the more unusual editions of the past 100 years. the only place to direct him are kind hearts and the playwright and poets who go from hope month talk founded prepare to go after the 1st world war to promote peace through. many of the great conductors of the 20th century like a tutor toscanini have about one carry on and nikolaus addinall cool helped shape the festival as did activists such as hellmuth luna and famous singers such as elizabeth schwarzkopf an elisa horton badda and jessye norman.

tebbit of her of this is festivals is called the sun tuesday by mozart who was born in salzburg. it's the 1st time that you are now my this is conducting at the festival. she has to be tested on a regular basis because at 19 but she says she doesn't mind the safety guidelines. which i'm agreed because there's a huge gift to be allowed to do justice here after so many people can't at the moment but in southwark we can play mozart and i have that meant that the special rehearsal conditions the concentration and also the seclusion but to me finding a sort of it's a lot of fun about. the bank the light streaming movies of unusual we're able to see the opera inside the

venue yet missed it was also a different have nukes more since they were acquired it's my strat the whole performance of the body of the force of the convict. i will yes and i may be in such a situation people concentrate much more on the essentials i know fact with not much talking not many receptions or premier parties either. political parties and then just music would be. the world this insult spirit also seems pleased in spite of precautions and restrictions. if i was glad to see something again after 6 months i usually go to the opera a lot so it's fantastic to be able to do that here you. see because of all the trivia that's we fixed it for me what's important is that salzburg there go ahead even though all the other festivals are canceled. but

over the festival went ahead worries about the future remain. seen in. this pandemic period it's very difficult financially. we've got half as many audience members as usual. good fish and this is particularly difficult for a festival like ours which is funded mainly by ticket sales not by public subsidies . it was just before the cops and i'd keep it all because i'm not moving i'm extremely sad almost depressed and that side of it is tough to live through a time when it's almost inhumane to touch one another. just one another it's hard and it was emotionally. like this festival ended up being a one off experiment or want to pave the way for other cultural events around the world for now at least the show will go in.

russia it's approved the 1st fact in against the coronavirus but there are doubts about whether this is safe or effective. many russian artists do not trust their political leaders even though they too are enjoying their newfound freedom. hold the all. the streets lockdown is over for months those living in moscow waited for this moment among other venue's the city's bins of vodka contemporary art center has finally we opened artist alisa yes it is really. to no longer be limited to online interactions. hello maj shake your hand yes you can hello there. the pendennis is only present including at this exhibition a pictorial depiction of coronavirus infection. how does the time feel to you this time it's also wearing

a mask it's the new black square. being stuck at home for months gave us time to think about new projects so it was a productive time. many have come not so much to see the art here but to be seen and to socialize. during russia's lock down leaving the house was only committed in exceptional. aliso your has spent this time and has set a studio creating political. she had no shortage of material. russian police have arrested dozens of people at anti-government rallies alisa says authorities use the lockdown as an excuse to crackdown on the opposition published new pledges discussing this online so. the russian government used the chrono virus as an opportunity to push through constitutional reforms and then put in the power

are going about it was nobody was allowed to protest during the lockdown it was only limited for people to go vote. moskos triumph after louis has dedicated an entire show to the pandemic. one of the least a year for his works the persecution of dissidents is also on display. other artists have contributed pieces criticizing states of aliens using q.r. codes. police are slated to gain new powers. they will be allowed to search cars without a warrant and use guns and the ranch situation. when alisa needs to clear her mind she likes to go to the russian countryside. this is the nicola lane of a park some 200 kilometers southwest of moscow with its 600 hexis it's the largest open air venue in europe. were so happy to get away from our flats in cities

which were feeling like tunes. i've been craving our culture and fresh air. the park was established by nikolai police ski who made most of its artworks the 63 year old works together with local pharmacy call him uncle called. his project because many here a source of income depended on it did affect the park. we didn't have any visitors in april. we also didn't get any money. so we have had to postpone the completion of one art project. by the more. years or back as soon as the lockdown was lifted in june love is returned russians are not here traveling internationally so many are vacationing in their home country. but not everyone is heeding all coronavirus safety measures i think many are taking

the situation seriously that's a problem. that can mask the design hotels is staging its 1st post lockdown concent. attendees were asked to donate money in support of struggling artists many private moscow art galleries have gone bankrupt so moscow artists began helping each other markets by dear stupid accessible artists have worked for artists in need that's keeping at least some money flowing on the art market. even though the lockdown has been lifted russia's obscene finds itself in financial trouble and in a dark political time. believe the u.s. is concerned about president putin's unfettered powers and fears he will continue using the pandemic as a pretext to further cattail civil liberties. life

has returned to the famous kind of grandeur and venice. churches and museums have reopened. and tourists have returned. but things started late aren't back to normal yet. the palazzo grassy one of venice's top art museums is now open just 4 days a week the photos of josefina beer was supposed to be on show here starting in march but the lockdown prevented that. since april but you know the scene has been the director here now he can finally do more than organize a digital stopgap basically present what works about which are to be seen physically. we are fortunate enough to have big spaces so we

had 2 or 300 people all at the same time in the bishan so even if the rules are strict we can keep our spaces open. one place that's always open to visit is is p.s.o. some magical amongst the footer. even with social distancing the lines in front of st marks the cynical are much shorter than usual. then it has visited but it isn't overrun the hordes of tourists that normally descend on its museums and other rich . actions are missing. 3 zeller romeo is a tour guide the nation's favorite district is dodge the duel with its traditional cross people i could see in saudi around the c.c.s. we are so we are here we are getting to the place where 2 ladies are running a square and that for the 1st time in the history. of the family run square or both

chant from one team is an institution around a quarter of the gondoliers and then is with those here these days they only repair the vessels. after they thought they died 2 years ago the pair of sisters took over running the business now in assists generation. in the future they hope to share their knowledge with tourists. with covered we can review the tours in venice i think the right way is the culture because venice not only from a square react a bridge or there's a lot of knowledge of inventing so we love to work here we love to learn and also we love to welcome people who want to know this work. is one of them she supports still be an initiative by local residents business people and artisans to maintain the existing infrastructure and promote another kind of tourism. venice

is not a theatre is something you have to come here and to live in so he will have an experience of a different kind of life where you know everyone you talk with everyone and at the same time you have a global cultural found. louisiana who is a primarily about meeting people based in venice to create something new and unique to a crumpton ship. lands artist simona regularly welcomes visitors and is happy to let them look over his shoulder. so when i come here with my guest is just an amazing experience for them and to meet all these people so for me this is. an example of modernistic in that sense that everybody thinks modern estate is fast modernity is industry whereas

then it's going to show a decent concept of more than anything. the discovery of slowness is a boon for the city's people and this natural environment. then it's thinking about its old treasures in a new way and tourists are profiting to meanwhile the elsinore to form a shipyard must make do without the biggest event of the year the dentist be in on a the international art and architectural exhibition has been postponed due to the coronavirus so the grounds themselves have become the attraction the situation right now was no longer paying attention to college as a culture was no longer mass i'm sure that there be an island is a bowl of attraction for many that they share a high quality of soul in the end the fact that they are not is missing is going to affect the artists in the gym to me with the countries normally have that civilians

and welcome schools is good steering to be in on a 0 is quiet. instead there are now free to exclude smoking who's the social distancing and mom's. guide to explain the architectural history to visiting of. the 2 is a popular idea still something's missing. equipment. that's a little fancy. that suddenly and so important towns and can come a date so many cattle and to see there's a sort of an immobilized by this fire and whistle. with that we hope that will change gradually over time video the fastest the pentagon and so much. he's a nation's really want to return to the old normal over silk bridges and past museums many agree to me normally would be better and then it is cautiously reinventing

itself. some are as festival season in germany but this year and that has begun last they are small and inventive. i've been silent green cultural center the audience is experiencing a new kind of concert a shared musical experience that respects physical distancing musician martin bass is pleased to be performing live again in part it will stand with you that it was about you dealing with this crisis and finding a way to turn it around. or let's say when what was normal was taken from us and i think it's because i prefer to play with my band members of the know we started to realize how much it meant and i really missed you playing live so should you. sign an agreement which is in a form a climatologist and had never organized outdoor concerts before but it turns out

that they have certain advantages. they also not have gotten people so good outside and we can accommodate a lot more guests at a lower cost but. it's less expensive to clean up after an outdoor concert than if the concert hall below are behind me had been packed. but i think it's clear the other way isn't possible and so but it's so it's great that people are coming up with creative solutions to have something even if it's outside on a meadow with distance and headphones is already good. you made this list because time music festival couldn't go ahead at all this year it had already sold 140000 tickets people could choose to have the tickets transferred to next year or reimburse the 1st people spend 5000000 year i see only . the common to be offered on tour now are we going to get through this crisis

financially we've been hit massively i don't survive this season thanks to the partners who want to buy us. something. was hired by big events like the buchan little festival have also been postponed plans can only watch parks clean. things will also remain quiet. located on the site of the former strip mine people usually come here to concerts and festivals now there are only a few happy campers enjoying this city of going and it's a small consolation slanted to. our losses this year amount to several $100000.00 euros as we can put on any of that we're in talks with government about compensation that are taken as i know some of the parts that were in advance of

discussion were and are all trying to find a way to balance things out on so that in 2021 we can use our own not been helpless and haven't. put those in crisis some decided to protest their calling on politicians to remember the cultural industry which continues to face hardship. or that. the diverse events that have existed for 30 or 40 years can't take place right now so we can generate any revenue not neither can they organize. nor those venues up nor those who do the ads nor the artists. so many are falling through the cracks. but this is also about losing a lifestyle many are missing being able to come together and celebrate becoming. so much playing makes me happy even when i and michael and the audience and having

. the feeling i can do and what i love and i'm not. even happy about markets right now i need to show not crazy that's why i'm here. and. determine government knows that conflict and event organizers are in serious trouble at the moment i'm have promised to set up an emergency fund with millions of euros germany. is it we're not wild party animals we can definitely talk to us and we're happy to do all those illegal raids being organized at a moment aren't helping our cause. some of the guys are coming up with ingenious ways to only. like 3 groups please open and drive in open air with space and if it will. help are still the safety of their own

well listening to distribute on their radios. goes on provided revelers enjoy themselves outdoors. social distancing and hygiene rules like you're. doing it and then. you also don't want the challenge we face is how to take the situation seriously while also enjoying ourselves we've found a great compromise here despite all the strict rules which i support wholeheartedly . so this is the old absolutely great. living. there are. women who can pick a really quick hit it's going to lead and new ways of holding events out there was
