It is one of the professions deeply in difficulty in the world by the Covid-19.
If artists in France benefit from an extension of intermittence, they are in the United Kingdom asked to retrain.
An astonishing political choice which did not fail to make the singer Carla Bruni react, at the microphone of Émilie Mazoyer on Europe 1.

Artists, "recycle"
Former top model Carla Bruni is releasing a new self-titled album.
She was invited, in the program
Musique !, to
react to the remarks of the government of Boris Johnson on the place of the artists in time of health crisis.
Rishi Sunak, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, indeed suggested to them to "retrain and find a new career".
A public speech that was not contradicted by its Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
"He's nice!", Quips the former French "first lady".
“Well done Boris, well done!” She then adds with a burst of laughter.

In the UK, the subject outraged many artists last weekend.
Especially since, at the same time, a campaign created in partnership with the British government suggested to Fatima, a classical dancer, to convert to digital.
Advertising (which was supposed to be used to attract new talent to digital professions) has since gone viral, and has since been denounced by the British Minister for Culture.

Bringing an album to life during the Covid-19 era
For his part, Carl Bruni has managed to navigate the difficulties of the health crisis to publish his new album.
"This strangely long time that confinement imposed on us, I used it a lot to work," she recalls.
"I had 9 songs left to finish, I finished them while in lockdown."
The singer also explains the joy shared with her musicians during the recording of the disc, at the time of deconfinement.
A happiness that leaves room for doubt, when it comes to imagining a tour to defend this album on stage.
"We project ourselves by acting as if nothing had happened," she explains, both amused and worried.
"But I live in the same boat as everyone else: we wait, we hope. We pray for a change, a medicine ... Something", she concludes, as a nod to the title of the single by his new album.
