For more than a month, the Lyrical Fun theater in Paris (France) has been “occupied” by a group of homeless people who need a roof over their heads.. These people began to occupy the premises on December 10, when a free conference called “Rethinking Hospitality for Refugees in France” was held there, LeHuffPost writes..

Inside the house there is everything you need - a small kitchen, a living room with a sofa and TV, built-in storage cabinets and a mezzanine..
