- It is very welcome. Above all, there are many freelancers who are suffering now, says Cilla Holmqvist, marketing and communications manager at Scenkonst öst.

The arrangements they carry out now have a limit of 50 people in the audience and no usual serving takes place during the breaks. This has meant a large loss of revenue.

- It has affected us a lot. And we do not know when there will be any relief. But there is talk of having a seating arrangement with two meters between the visitors.

Performing Arts East does not know when they can take part of the money proposed in the support package and so far the ban on public gatherings of over 50 people is fixed. The changes that have been launched will be submitted for consultation and the hope is that they will become a reality on 1 October.
