How did world war 2 influence french theatre?
The German occupation created many changes which involved censorship Coloured people had long appeared on the French stage but they were no longer approved of, but very famous ones such as Josephine Baker continued with their work and she actually worked for the underground resistance and received a medal for this work. The homosexual theatre workers were also persecuted. Many who had been theatre professionals therefore could no longer work. Actual performances were censored and the type and style of all work changed to become pro Nazi. There are many areas which could be expanded on here. There was also a question of freedom of movement to attend performances, blackouts rations etc.
This defensive line of forts, pillboxes, and underground control centers was called the Maginot Line, named for the French minister of defense. It was designed to repel frontal attacks as were common in World War I, but failed to anticipate the modern advances in mechanized and aerial warfare that would occur between World Wars. In any event, the Germans outflanked the Maginot Line by attacking through the weaker forts in Belgium, rendering the French fortifications nearly useless.
