A hundred theaters are occupied today by artists or intermittents.
They ask for a date for the reopening of venues and festivals and above all for a plan to help the cultural world.
The theaters have been closed in France for 5 months, this after a total closure between March and May 2020. Today, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron (March 31, 2021) mentioned a possible relaxation in mid-May 2021. Angélique Férat went to meet different artists.
Everyone would like to find the public.
