discomfort with the measures of the Ministry of Culture and Sports

Elisa Sanz, costume designer for
Play
, a dance piece focused on children that won up to three awards (costumes, lighting and musical composition), recalled that "if the gala had been held in Valladolid, like last year, the capacity would be 25 people ".

The pandemic has left the performing arts like a Gruyère cheese
", in allusion to the empty seats.
We need to be listened to, and above all to be allowed to work. "
