Most theatres in Argentina, both big and small, are offering a variety of online programmes, including not only their past shows, but also their new activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the greatest theatres, such as Col\u00f3n Theatre and Nacional Cervantes Theatre, are keeping their workshops working fully. The employees at the Col\u00f3n have stopped making sophisticated theatre costumes and committed themselves to producing face masks for health workers. According to the theatre\u2019s scenographical director, it was the workers themselves who suggested the initiative. He also added that Col\u00f3n Theatre has its own tradition, which is, \u201cnever abandon the theatre, even in the toughest situations,\u201d The same commitment can be seen at Nacional Cervantes Theatre, where artistic labour and social volunteering are combined in current activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
