Occupation Of The National Theater Of Toulouse
Banners read 'Shut down TV, turn on spotlights' and 'We don't play anymore, we fight' during the general assembly. Culture workers (actors, live artists, musicians, technicians, etc.), precarious workers and activists still occupy the National Theater of Toulouse called 'Theatre de la Cite' to demand for the extension of their unemployment benefits ('annee blanche') and the withdrawal of the unemployment benefits reform. They also 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. On April 6th 2021 in Toulouse, France.
