Particularly for the large cultural organizations, we plan at least three years ahead of time. We have short-term and long-term concerns, but touring altogether, the short-term concerns are obviously the Middle East right now, where we are confirmed to actually do two performances as part of the centennial celebrations in Tel Aviv. We are the only large cultural organization, with La Scala de Milan, to have been invited. We have one performance in Jerusalem and four in Cairo.
We are, like all of my colleagues, waiting until the last minute, and we're also trying everything we can to raise the money. That's the reason I was in Cairo. We did raise $50,000 from Egyptian companies supporting the presentation of Les Grands Ballets in Cairo, which is quite amazing. We are anticipating $250,000 from PromArt. That's very difficult for us to raise, particularly in view of the current economic situation.
That's a long answer to your question, but in terms of touring, we have already cancelled tours. I mentioned the tour to the U.S. and to Poland. We have frozen our negotiations with Venezia. With regard to the Middle East, honestly, I don't know what to do, particularly if Shimon Peres and Susan Mubarak attend. I would hate to cancel. It's just bad to do that.
Can we afford the deficit? No, we can't. We will cancel the tour in England if we don't have the money. We will certainly not go on tour and incur a deficit. That doesn't make any sense.
