French artists and entertainment workers (known in France as "Intermittents du spectacle") from the CGT-Spectacle union, demonstrate on July 4, 2014 in Avignon, southern France. The two opening shows of France's prestigious Avignon Festival -- one of the world's biggest theatre showcases -- meant to be held today have been cancelled after strike action by actors and technicians. The festival, which attracts 128,000 theatre-goers to the southern French city, has been under threat from a long-running dispute over planned government cutbacks to their status of "intermittents": artists and cultural workers who are allowed to combine periods of work with paid unemployment. The banner reads : "Wake up ! Be Outraged ! Let's Revolt !". AFP PHOTO / BORIS HORVAT (Photo credit should read BORIS HORVAT/AFP via Getty Images)
