The Théâtre Nouvelle Génération (TNG) in Lyon announced on Tuesday that it had filed an appeal with the administrative court to contest the legality of the withdrawal of its annual subsidy by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, chaired by Laurent Wauquiez.
In a press release, the management of the TNG, which took legal action on November 17, denounces a “totally arbitrary and unfounded decision” while the structure, labeled “National Drama Center” by the State, has according to it a convention triennial of objectives (2022-2024), “co-signed in September 2022 by the City of Lyon, the AURA Region and the State”.
“In 2022, the regional subsidy increased from 175,000 euros to 149,000 euros and in 2023, it is zero and plunges us into the deficit,” explained to AFP a spokesperson for the Lyon institution, which despite everything managed to maintain this year the holding of around “twenty” shows “like last year”. A voluntary appeal approach to the Region, “for four months” has remained “unanswered”, further asserts the TNG, justifying its approach to administrative justice.
In 2022, the region withdrew four million euros in subsidies from 140 cultural actors, mainly in Lyon, Grenoble and Saint-Étienne, a change of direction that the LR president of the region Laurent Wauquiez had “assumed” by evoking “ reorientations”. In April, the region announced that it was continuing its cultural policy of “rebalancing” for the benefit of the “territories” by favoring festivals, which have benefited from increased subsidies. These choices and these cuts sparked an outcry in the cultural and political world, which denounced “a brutal and unjustified measure”.
The director of the TNG Joris Mathieu had accused Mr. Wauquiez of engaging in “a deliberate endeavor to destabilize the functioning of public cultural institutions” in an article published on the Syndeac union website. The vice-president of the regional council in charge of culture Sophie Rotkopf had publicly justified the removal of the regional subsidy by pointing out "the contempt of the director of the TNG" and his "remarks sincerely bordering on insult towards of our president.
