TRANSLATION:Riccardo Piretti-We do not ask for the reopening of the theaters, we want it to happen when it can be for everyone and without leaving behind the smallest and most independent. -What we ask with this action above all is to open a time to be able to propose a structural reform of the entertainment sector since the pandemic has exposed all the great problems that already existed before. -Continuous income with which workers can maintain themselves especially in moments of work discontinuity. -For a year that we have been mobilizing, we have created a network of entertainment workers that has created several mobilizations during this year and this is the last action we have proposed. This action today, also imitated in theaters in Milan (north) and Naples (south) that have already occupied several theaters. -We want the institutions to be on our side, because the fight makes sense if we all do it together. -Today's action is made especially to all the people who for various reasons have had a blank year of work, an unfortunate year, who have worked a little less in 2019 and who today are absolutely without any type of amortization , so this gesture is above all for them. Carlota Proietti:We got a little scared because we didn't know anything and we didn't know the intention. Obviously we sympathize with what they say because we are also show workers.
