In my opinion, the period we are now entering will be transitional. Normalcy will not return until there is a vaccine, treatment or herd immunity. Within 12 or 18 months, we will have to find a way to get together, attend shows and festivals while adhering to public health guidelines. We, as festival organizers, are going to see if it is possible to hold events in the context that we know, especially at outdoor venues which, obviously, are larger and allow for some physical distance.
In addition, the creators we know, in Quebec and in Canada, may be able to add original events, completely unusual and innovative performances. In such cases, physical or social distancing will not be necessary. We therefore hope to be able to reinvent the festival and events sector, as it were, by the time this crisis ends and the public wants to attend festivals and events again.
