French actor Xavier Gallais, playing the Prince of Homburg, performs on stage during the rehearsal of the play ‘The Prince Of Homburg’ by German writer Heinrich Von Kleist, directed by Giorgio Barberio Corsetti from Itlay, during the Avignon Theatre Festival on July 2, 2014 in the French southern city of Avignon. The rehearsal of the play was halted by French entertainment workers as part of an ongoing conflict following a government measure aimed at cutting their benefits. Entertainment workers have been holding for weeks rolling strikes and demonstrations against the new agreement, according to AFP.
