ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「House of Yes was a revolution in New York nightlife: A space at once wild and safe, challenging and inclusive. With aerialists, fire eaters and glitter, it was Brooklyn’s wildest party. But with the coronavirus, the question arises: Can it ever come back? When the city shut down in March to stop the spread of the virus, so did @houseofyesnyc. The club, set on a formerly industrial stretch of Bushwick, had grown from a self-described “hippie-punk squat” in 2007 to a vital part of New York City’s queer nightlife scene, with about 100 employees on the payroll. As quarantine set in, everyone from the bartenders to the bouncers to the event producers had to be let go. The co-founders and owners, Kae Burke and Anya Sapozhnikova, also had to furlough the resident troupe of pole dancers, aerialists, go-go dancers, fire breathers, stilt walkers and clowns. It’s unclear when the club will be able to operate at full capacity again, and whether aerialists or fire breathers will be able to translate their art for a new era, whatever that may be. So the question lingers: How will live performances even fit in? “I was really mourning my performance career,” Jonathan McDonald, an aerialist, said. “I miss my friends, and performing, and the live stage and having the energy of the audience there.” Tap the link in our bio for more.
