Pandemic.

Approximately 70% of the seats in the auditorium were removed, the second row was emptied, and the remaining seats were arranged individually or in pairs.

The removal of seats is part of an investigation into how social distancing was achieved when the theater reopened in September. The removed seats will be refurbished when not needed.

Oliver Reese, artistic director of the Berlin Ensemble, said: "In the last 10 days, the seats were removed for two reasons: On the one hand, we tried to propose innovative solutions to the current corona regulations."

He told Dezeen: "The auditorium now looks like a device, not just an empty row." "By removing the seats, the rest of the seats will be more accessible."

"This allows us to follow social rules or our preferred expression, namely physical evacuation rules. On the other hand, we will use relocation to renovate historic seats."

As the number of seats decreases, when the theater reopens, the Berlin Ensemble will take a series of measures to ensure that the official minimum distance of 1.5 meters is maintained.

Reese said: "Tickets will be inspected in a non-contact manner. Spectators must wear masks until they reach their seats, and there will be a crowd management system during the entry process."

"The order of admission will be strictly controlled. Guests will be taken to a small unit of about six people to sit down so that there will be no traffic jams and the distance between individual visitors, couples or groups can be observed."

Although most of the seats have been withdrawn from the theater, the Berlin Song and Dance Ensemble hopes to allow audiences in social occasions to enjoy a performance as much as possible.

Reese explained: "We really want to participate in the competition! This is not only our main mission and obligation as a public theater, but also our sincere wish to return to the stage."

"In the past few weeks, we had to change our plans for the next season, but I am very happy that we finally discovered a creative and fun way with the actors and the art team to deal with the prescribed seating plan for the next season in an extraordinary way. "He continued.

"We should definitely remember to remove the seats temporarily. We all desire to be normal. But I am absolutely sure that our ensemble can provide at least the same energy for 200 and 700 people."
