Summary/Abstract: The issue of “online versus offline” has never been more pressing or more widespread than it is today. The following essay tries to make sense of the effect of a global pandemic on a very punctual, but important aspect of our society, education and teaching. Analyzing the different approaches and major break in between the analogue and the digital classroom, the following article sets out to identify the difficulties that this calling must face in order to adapt and perhaps offer some insight on the areas that require the most attention and sensibility. The phenomenon is studied through the challenge of online theatre classes, one of the most contact-based areas of teaching. With no clear winners, but a high risk of losing young minds and souls, this form of art is forced to improvise on the spot, to face the curtain before having a chance to rehearse.
