What will a theater trip like after the Covid-19 pandemic look like? In Germany, the Berliner Ensemble gives us some answers. The Berlin theater, which will not reopen until September, shared images of its revamped auditorium, reports the Huffington Post . The opportunity for our German theater-loving neighbors to get an idea of what awaits them at the start of the school year.
To meet the new health standards, the establishment has eliminated around 500 of its 700 seats, or a total of 70%. One in two rows will remain free to respect social distancing. By the way, the seats that have been removed will benefit from a renovation. “The auditorium now looks like a real installation, it is not just empty rows. By removing the seats, the others are easier to access, ”said Oliver Reese, artistic director of the Berliner Ensemble in Dezeen .
"Für mich ist die neue Bestuhlung Ausdruck einer Sehnsucht zur Rückkehr auf die Bühne. Wir probieren aktuell verschiedene Maßnahmen, nähern uns Schritt für Schritt einer Rückkehr und wollen flexibel mit neuen Erfahrungenengegenennergenenng.

At all times, spectators must respect a minimum distance of 1.5 meters. They will have to wear a mask to their seat, but can remove it to enjoy the show. Finally, ticket control will be “contactless” to ensure compliance with health rules.
In France, theaters and performance halls reopened on June 2 in green areas. And the recovery promises to be much less serene than that of our German neighbors. "Opening performance halls with a degraded gauge (cut from its capacity) is not economically viable", deplored AFP Malika Séguineau, president of the National Federation of Employers of Live and Public Entertainment (FEPS ).
