In agony, the culture sector manifests to demand the reopening of cultural places in France

Several thousand professionals from the world of culture demonstrated again, Thursday, March 4, 2021 in France, to cry out their fed up and demand the reopening of cultural places.

Several people entered the Odeon theater in Paris at the end of the demonstration to occupy it.

In Lyon, they were several hundred gathered in front of the Tony Garnier hall.

"It's been a year that we have been stuck at home," regrets Louis-Marie Hippolyte, 34, light manager in the theater, having participated in a rally in Grenoble.

Since the health crisis, he has worked “from five to ten hours a month” and lives on the allowance for intermittent entertainment workers. 

The government, which closed theaters, museums and other cultural venues at the end of October to fight the Covid-19 epidemic, gave no reopening date, awaiting the result of several "test concerts" as well as a expertise on the situation of intermittent workers.
