Odeon Theatre, directed by Olivier
Claude Régy reddens with anger. His voice, his hands shaking. He told a meeting in the offices of the Ministry of Culture in search of savings: "They advised me to take my retirement. "You can continue to work", they added. It even gave me advice artistic advised not to accompany my touring shows. And there, it's not going to, this affects the arts. There is no question that the department intervene on my way of doing things. "

That was yesterday morning on the scene the Odeon Theatre, directed by Olivier Py. More than 150 people, directors for the most part, actors, writers, choreographers, too, had given appointments in the National Theatre emblematic linked to 68. This two-day event National Friday at the invitation of the Bangladesh Federal Union of intervention cultural structures (UFISC). Dirt until yesterday improbable family photo, where the youngest or the poorest côtoyaient the sizes of living theatre: Jean-Pierre Vincent, Alfredo Arias, Ariane Mnouchkine, Patrice Chéreau.
Triple pressure. "It tends to divide us and we tend ourselves to do so. But we are all here today, "said Jean-Pierre Vincent. We are linked economically, we are a broad co-production. "Today, virtually no theater has the means to engage in a single production.
The anger in the political voices do not hiding behind a prepared speech and policed. This rendezvous was improvised in three days, a sudden SMS and mails. Arnaud Meunier, director of the company Bad Seed, said the financial situation: "Our profession is undergoing a triple pressure. The "mechanical erosion" of the budgets of institutions which are not (with the exception of five national theatres) indexed to inflation; that of the future agreement, which will cost more expensive for employers that of 'aberration of the unemployment benefits for artists and technicians. "
The freeze precautionary 6% for the 2008 budgets of performing arts has been partially implemented. Thawing announced 35 million was not total, half of the funding has already been used to repay the debts of investment by the state and its co-financing European funds.
"Air unhealthy." Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain their activity. They affected by the weakening of the artistic abilities of the institutions and they see their grants decrease, at least 4% for the Paris Region companies, 6% for those directly managed by the Ministry of Culture.
Didier Bezace (director of the Theatre de la commune in Aubervilliers) regularly reads Article 1 of the contract between his theater to the state: "This is fantastic, I am asked to be ambitious, and that suits me. I sign. But where does most is that I can no longer afford to provide this ambition. We are not in an era of contracts, breach of contract. "She added:" We breathe unhealthy air. I read a column in a weekly newsletter. The journalist writes that the restaurant is better than yawn in a theatre. "
Ariane Mnouchkine, sitting in the room alongside Patrice Chéreau, went to the same effect: "A part of the French do not understand us, we see as privileged. We were lucky if we manage to make ourselves understood. I would like the public to be there. We are still a corporatist reunion, like it or not. We do not need a victory to the taxi drivers. I do not believe in talks de Valois. There is a need for many to divide us. Albanel was put there to do nothing, it's very serious. It is as if this government was normal, but it was a government abnormal. It should sign a charter between citizens and artists. "And perhaps remember that there are over 20 million viewers per year for the performing arts (3.5 million for the national Centers drama), 69500 performances, and that the number of jobs in this sector is equivalent to that of some industrial sectors.
The appointment of the Odeon could perhaps be more effective than the interviews de Valois, which does indeed not yet the end. In June, when they expire, Christine Albanel, who has initiated, will it still Minister of Culture?
Didier Bezace spoke, quoting Jean Vilar, the "marriage" with the cruel guardianship. Union for the better, and today especially for the worse. And quoting Victor Hugo: "These are very meagre savings for many major damage."
