Labor organization CGT Spectacle has been spearheading a nation-wide occupation of drama theaters since March 4, and momentum hasn’t died down in the last month, with nearly 100 venues still occupied across France as of April 19.
It all started at the Odeon Theater, which is flooded on Saturdays with freelance artists, crew members, caterers, dancers, costume designers and musicians, among others, all of whom have been out of work for months and fear for their livelihoods, even if most are still protected by unemployment subsidies.
