thus, in the region five months ago stuck in the circus tent “Sold out.” The troupe arrived in the region in March, stopped in the village of kochubeyevskoye and still can’t get away. The circus Director Andrey Guzenko, which he likes for about 20 years, says he is ready right now to set up a tent and arena, that’s just his work banned, and therefore no source of income.

– the Situation is hopeless. Spring when we went on tour, our financial situation is so poor, hoping to earn some money on the performances. Came here March 16, agreed the site is located, put the tent and prepared to give the first performance. And here come to us from the local administration and show a resolution on the ban on mass events, – says Andrew.

the employees of the circus at first hoped that the restrictions will last only two or three weeks, but went for the fifth month. While many got families at home, someone is constantly pestering creditors. The illusionist had to leave as the Bank for overdue payments threatened to take away the house.

– He could recover home, as it has no animals. And the rest of his players don’t quit. Although already have an idea that when we get back to their families, will have to do something else in order not to die of hunger. I plan to become a truck driver – says Andrey.

Maxim Cherevko, a clown and trainer of ferrets, dogs and strange nosuh, said that now is trying to earn the freight:

– I Have a car, I gave everywhere ads. But few orders. I guess the competition is high.

most of the animals now sitting in cells, they are regularly fed and watered. Only two camels constantly grazing next to the trailers.

– They drink a few buckets of water a day. But there are other animals. And we need something to eat – sigh trainer Rustam Kholmatov.

Every day, the circus workers go to neighboring household for water. Local people help than can: bring artists products, and animal feed. Sometimes, even share honey and nuts. Many bring their children with them. People offer to arrange camel rides or small performances. But the circus performers refuse because it threatens huge fines. To the question, what is missing most, Andrew bitterly jokes that of diesel fuel.

– we Need 200 thousand rubles to fill up their cars and trucks to hire another truck and leave. When they began to weaken quarantine, we expected that in the neighboring Krasnodar region will be allowed to participate. I went to the Kuban, tried to negotiate, but it did not happen gradually hopes for this season disappeared, – the Director continues. – We are not lazy, willing and able to work. But now to part on houses and rainbe when you remove restrictions.

boys and private theaters, although the situation is not as dire as in circuses. However, the family puppet theatre “Good beetle” from Stavropol after the introduction of restrictive measures had to fire all employees. As explained by artistic Director Natalia Ledovskikh, the entire staff before it was formalized, which is rare for private theatres. But because of the pandemic, the school lost all income. Therefore, the management made this decision.

– However, this does not mean that the theatre ceased to exist. We work for many years, almost every day we get calls from people asking when open. They say that children want to join us, – says Ledovskaya. – Slowly working on a new play. Rehearsals yet, but as soon as restrictions will be removed, we will prepare the actors.

She added that now the “Good beetle” are rare performances in the open air. With the resumption of work of children’s camps on the territory of the Stavropol territory such performances were held more often.

– of Course, the pandemic has greatly influenced our plans. We had to go to two festivals. Planned new productions. From all had to be abandoned. Any benefits not received. Only those who resigned, came to the labor exchange, to pay them unemployment benefits. Heads of private theatres communicate, keep in touch. I know that many large and famous companies were left without a livelihood, – said the artistic Director of the “Good beetle”.

the Director of the Stavropol state operetta theatre in Pyatigorsk Svetlana Kalinskaya told to the correspondent “RG” that its employees do not fall under the reduction. Moreover, the management thinks about how to recruit new actors and musicians. Now there are regular rehearsals.

Theatre works of the state task for 2020. All benefits that have been promised to receive. Preserved and subsidies in full. The theatre continues to function, preparing new performances. Another issue is that we can’t work now for the viewer. It is strongly knocks the team out of a rut, says Kaliski.

It also drew attention to the problem which will face all the theaters when they would be allowed to open the doors for spectators. We are talking about the recommendations of the CPS.

– in the musical theaters In the copper section of the orchestra should be at a distance of two meters from the audience, the other musicians – at a distance of one and a half to two meters. But in our orchestra pit no way to seat the orchestra. The mass of the stage is prohibited. And we have only one of the 30 performances are only involved six to seven people. The remaining mass, with chorus and ballet. Kale added that the managers of theatres, not onlyon the Stavropol territory, thinking about how to cope with the requirements of the Supervisory authority. Otherwise, the removal of restrictions is unlikely to return cultural institutions to normal life.
