We are show, video, sound, lighting technicians, stage technicians, theaters ... we are all represented here"."They are not enough. The government does not consider cultural workers, and gives preference to other sides of the economy such as tourism.

If it weren't for my boss who took on my salary, I wouldn't have been able to pay my bills, I want the government to help too, to work alone".
