Drama theatre - online broadcast

-
Image
The pandemic has expanded theater audiences through online broadcasts. As live performances or as special recordings or archived videos, many theater performances have become accessible to audiences who have never set foot in theaters. But the fact that they have become accessible does not mean that they have been accessed. The public reacted with great reservations to such initiatives. Theater audiences received them with reservations because "online is not the same thing as the thing itself" (a reaction of this type, not necessarily in these words). The artists, used to seeing the spectators, did not feel well either. The theaters, although they do not stay in the ticket money, tried to market the new product online. Very rarely were the performances made available to the public free of charge. Access charging creates great barriers not only because of the price, which was not high, but also because of the lack of habit in making such purchases and the lack of knowledge of ...

  video: Largest abandoned cities in the world TOP 10 1. Bodie (United States of America, California) . It is probably the most famous ghost town (it even has a Facebook page). Shortly after it was built, the city reached a population of 10,000 inhabitants, in 1880, and was gradually abandoned due to numerous fires. 2. Hashima Island (Japan) . Between 1887 and 1974, the island represented a coal mine and at the same time the most populated place on earth, hosting over 13,000 people per square kilometer.

  Sunsets have always been an attraction. In the old days, sunrises enjoyed the same popularity, but today, in the morning we either sleep or go to work, and sunrises are no longer the focus of attention. As for sunsets, they continue to fascinate in a special way, and contemporary art, just like the art of a century ago, tries to immortalize them in one way or another. Therefore, many sunsets are for sale in art galleries, for every home and for every group of the public. So, how much does a sunset cost? One that will never pass and remain, regardless of the time, available, accessible and shining?

Anyway, there were years when creatives (and car brands) could "argue" with each other through humorous advertisements. Those times were in 2007. The "dispute" took place in the pages of numerous newspapers and magazines, where advertising was bought. BMW, Audi, Subaru and Bentley participated (or got into the conversation themselves).
