Summary/Abstract: Beyond the discussions about restrictions, losses or limitations, the pandemic that affected the cultural life in Romania during March – June 2020 (with the possibility of extending this term beyond the date of writing this article) also brought a period of introspection and analysis on how art will regather to meet the new challenges of social, economic nature - and, perhaps most importantly, the challenges of technological nature. Thirteen personalities in the field of the performing arts answered a set of three questions that aimed to point out both the reaction of the cultural environment to the immediate constraints of the suspension of activity in the performance halls and the medium and longterm forecasts of new art forms and the new ways of the creator – artist – stage – audience relationship, with the digitization of artistic creation on an unprecedented scale.
