<\/a> Theater troupes in Egypt are facing a reckoning as covid-19 continues to make indoor <\/strong>gatherings risky<\/strong>, and partial restrictions on capacity mean that their audiences will remain limited. For those who have ended live performances (their raison d'etre), they have had to survive by turning online or making creative new partnerships with larger institutions.<\/p>\n

El Warsha<\/a><\/strong> is one theater troupe that is also coping with scarce funding for the arts, which has put it in dire financial straits.<\/strong> The decades-old independent troupe, founded and led by Hassan El Geretly, is now staring down the possibility that it will have to put an end to its future performances, Ahram Online<\/a> reports. Founded in 1987, the troupe has been home to prolific performers like Abla Kamel, Ahmed Kamal and Saied Ragab in the past and is credited with reviving interest in traditional stick performances, folk singing and classic musicals.<\/p>\n

Maneuvering financial strife through bartering: <\/strong>Although funding has all but dried up for El Warsha, as financiers divert resources elsewhere, the troupe is for now making do with what Geretly describes as a form of bartering with creative services among other cultural institutions instead of funds.<\/p>\n

Online workshops offer a means for survival: <\/strong>The Sitara Theater<\/a> felt the burden of responsibility and took it upon themselves to shut down last July, despite the government gradually lifting lockdown measures at the time, Reuters<\/a> reported. At the outset of the pandemic, the theater put its work on hold \u2014 and its actors put their costumes and props in storage \u2014 and then made the decision to remain shuttered, saying that it\u2019s not \u201cthe safest option\u201d to reopen, considering their work \u201cmainly depends on gatherings\u201d and often brings together young children in big numbers. Now, the theater offers online workshops and shows.<\/p>\n

Some, however, are embracing the mantra of \u201cthe show must go on.\u201d<\/strong> Among them is Cairo Show \u2014 a private Egyptian theater company \u2014 which kicked off the year<\/a> with a musical comedy despite official figures indicating the second wave of covid-19 peaked in January, with the Health Ministry reporting 1,022 cases on 14 January (one week before the show).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
