O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os dramas experenciados por artistas brasileiros durante o período da pandemia da COVID 19. A investigação integra um dos eixos de uma pesquisa mais ampla, acerca dos impactos sociais da pandemia no Brasil. Inicialmente, argumenta-se que a pandemia é um evento crítico com múltiplas escalas, que impacta de modos desiguais as populações, como é o caso dos profissionais do mundo artístico, em si mesmo um campo heterodoxo em termos de especialidades, remuneração, que já vinha sofrendo com os impactos da redução de investimentos em políticas públicas na área cultural desde meados da década de 2010. Tendo em vista as medidas de enfrentamento à pandemia, dentre as quais a restrição às aglomerações, os eventos artísticos foram interditos e os profissionais impossibilitados de atuar de maneira convencional, gerando problemas de ordem econômica e sofrimento psíquico. O artigo explora o relato dramático de alguns desses profissionais, destacando as estratégias adotadas para fazer frente à crise decorrente da impossibilidade de atuação, da escassez de políticas públicas para o setor e o desdém às artes e à cultura por parte da elite política e econômica nacional. Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com artistas cênicos, músicos e DJs entre os meses de agosto e dezembro de 2020.
