Toulouse: Culture Workers Occupy The National Theater To Protest Against The Closing Of All Culture Places

a protestor prepares leaflets. This one reads 'Precarious, work and shut up'. Culture workers (actors, live artists, musicians, technicians, etc.) and activists occupy the National Theater of Toulouse called 'Theatre de la Cite' to protest against the closing down of all theaters, cinemas, concert halls, etc. by the French government due to the Covid-19 pandemic since one year. They plan to occupy the theater as long as necessary as in other theaters in France such as Rennes, Pau, Strasbourg, Paris (Theatre de l'Odeon), etc. They demand the re-opening of all culture places. They also ask for the extension of their unemployment benefits. The administator of the Theatre De La Cite, Stephane Gil, welcomed the protestators when they came inside the theater. Toulouse.
