The island’s movie theaters have been one of the spaces most affected by the health crisis. Faced with a scenario of closings and capacity reductions, fear on the part of the public and cancellation of premieres by multinationals, it is time to reinvent themselves. This is what they have done at Aficine, one of the major groups in the sector in Mallorca, with the programming of opera, art and musical shows.
