The economic reflection of the pandemic process in 2020 on the Turkish theater

In the period that has passed since the existence of the science of economics, the states have been taking some precautions in order to avoid any disruptions in production due to the economic problems experienced. Among these measures, it is seen that priority is given to meeting the basic needs of people. During periods of economic distress, people's consumption preferences change and since secondary and later needs (security and social needs) other than basic needs do not come to the fore, production in these areas may be interrupted. It is known that towards the end of 2019, the covid-19 virus, which started in China and spread to the whole world, caused a pandemic and the crisis arising from this pandemic affected all countries of the world economically. It is seen that the pandemic has caused negative economic consequences in many areas from art to education, from health to transportation, and that the businesses that produce in these areas are left alone with the problems of economic survival. In this thesis, the effects of economic systems on theater organizations will be mentioned and the economic problems experienced in the periods in Turkey (such as the proclamation of the Republic, the Second World War, Military Interventions) and their effects on the art of theater will be examined. Monitoring the economic developments in the triangle of economy, state and theater, the formation and structure of the theater enterprise, which is an economic structure, and the economic reflection of the pandemic process in 2020 on the art of theater in Turkey will be investigated.
