A group of protesters from the anti-government "yellow vest" movement upstaged France's top annual theatre awards, surging onto the stage to denounce the policies of President Emmanuel Macron. The Moliere Awards, named after France's greatest playwright, took place late Monday in the presence of Culture Minister Franck Riester at the Folies Bergere cabaret music hall.
The ceremony was broadcast on French France 2 public television later in the evening but with a delay and the incident was edited out of the broadcast. The head of the Moliere ceremony, French theatre impressario Jean-Marc Dumontet, said the protesters had managed to access the theatre via the roof.
They then surged onto the stage, interrupting the speeches of host Alex Vizorek. "The Moliere for indisputable dishonesty, voted unanimously by the jury, goes to Mr Macron and his government!" said a protester from the lectern, clutching a statuette of Moliere in a yellow vest.
