Like many Argentinians and Argentines, Flavio Mendoza is going through a hard present. The choreographer and many artists have been unable to work since March when they ordered the theaters to be closed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. A few weeks ago he had gone bankrupted when he talked about it, but this time in dialogue with Polino Auténtico, cycle that is broadcast by Radio Mitre, went further and confessed: “I had to sell my apartment”.
The producer revealed that and other colleagues are looking for a security protocol to be passed in some way to the theatrical field. “You can’t hold it anymore, we need to work somehow. Some people are starving,” he said. Flavio said he asked for credits but they were not awarded, and that his last resort was to sell his apartment. “In this country people who give work and produce punish them. I had to sell my apartment, which was worth all my effort,” he said. He added: “Artists can’t present projects and wait. What are you talking about? Where’s the help?” After remembering the way he got excited in Court and Tailoring when he said many call him “to ask him to eat,” he said that despite his financial problems he feels more pain for those who don’t know how to help.” I’m very afraid that if this isn’t solved there’s a social problem, I think people are getting fed up. I’m having a hard time like everybody else, but there are people who have a worse time,” he mused. “It hurts my soul when they call me to ask for something and I don’t know what to say,” he closed.
