Bolshoi theatre for Restart2020 campaign
by Xinshixiang 新世相, a multi-channel media company based in China
I joined a group of international illustration artists in this visual campaign that reimagines year 2020 without pandemic..
My story is about Bolshoi theatre in Moscow.
Because of the pandemic Bolshoi Theatre has closed, losing approximately $121,000 for every missed day of performances. Bolshoi is by far the world's biggest ballet company with over 200 dancers, and is one of the most prestigious cultural institutions on the planet. It is one of the 10 most famous theatres around the world. If the closure continues until September, the theatre may go bust.
If 2020 restarts, the Bolshoi Theatre is crowded with audience, ready to begin a ballet show.
"With the spread of COVID-19 around the world, we are keenly aware of the gravity of the situation and devastation the pandemic has caused, and are ready to take part in the global initiative.
Sharing love is our greatest strength through difficult times as human kind."
