Despite the curfew in effect from Friday, October 23, 2020 at midnight in Côte-d’Or, Dijon theaters are trying to continue living! This is the case at Darcy Comédie where the latest announcements have turned everything upside down, for example for the humorous piece “And they lived happy”, the story of three women who oppose everything in a waiting room. Saturday, October 24, 2020, it was scheduled at 8:30 p.m., but to accommodate the curfew, it was brought forward to 6:30 p.m.
“Places where sanitary rules are highly respected”
“It was action-reaction”, upon the announcement of the new restriction to shift the room, indicates Vanessa Fery, one of the three actresses who arrived from Paris on Friday afternoon. She hopes the curfew and advanced schedules don’t make spectators despair : “We sit down, we all look in the same direction and we go away. Even between us and the stage, it’s more than two meters. We don’t spit on people, we don’t spit anymore now” (laughs). For their next dates, direction of other metropolises under curfew, in Lyon and Rouen.
As for the café-theater, we are also organizing, as Carlos Goncalves explains, at the head of the Darcy Comédie: “Unfortunately everything is shifted, we advance the schedules, it causes us a lot of worries but we get up each time, we try to find adjustable schedules so that the public is there and that they can have time to leave” . Another option for him, program more pieces on Sunday.
