With the country recording 11, 079 new Covid-19 cases on (Tuesday) July 13 (the first time it has reached five figures), it looks like the performing arts and creative industry is nowhere near to recovery road.
Theatres and performing arts venues have been shut for over two months now. The recent open letters from KLPac and PenangPac pleading for some form of arts recovery plan (the chance to resume in-house recordings) highlighted their bleak financial situation. Donations from the masses, who still care about the arts and culture community, has been forthcoming. But it won't be enough.
