The coronavirus emergency is revolutionizing our lives. This suspended time invites us to reflect on new format of work, creation and fruition of the arts. The live show is not replaceable but the time is ripe to experiment, to find new ways, thanks to the tools offered by the virtual agorà. In addition to pointing out the activities and good practices developed inside Be SpectACTive!, we inaugurate Food for Thought: a section dedicated to reflections, new ideas, practices coming from other institutions and cultural organisations. A way to broaden our gaze, to network and dialogue on the present and future that we will build.
