The Comédie-Française was recognised for its production of the Bourgeois Gentleman at the 34th annual Molières theatre awards, which were briefly interrupted by culture minister Rima Abdul-Malak, who reacted to jabs from the actors onstage during the ceremony about the government's controversial pension reform.
“Usually the role of a minister is to stay seated and say nothing, but this unbelievable,” said Abdul-Malak, taking the stage with a microphone in the middle of the ceremony Monday evening.
