At LES FILLES DE LA PLUIE, values are not abstract words but guiding principles that shape our everyday actions, decisions, and creations. They are the foundation of our work and the compass that helps us remain true to our mission.
Creativity and Innovation
Theater is a space of imagination, and we embrace this fully. Creativity is at the core of our work, whether in the staging of a play, the organization of a workshop, or the way we engage with our community. We also value innovation, encouraging experimentation and risk-taking in order to discover new forms of expression.
Openness and Inclusion
We believe theater belongs to everyone. Openness means welcoming different voices, stories, and talents. Inclusion means making sure that everyone has the opportunity to participate, regardless of background, experience, or identity. We strive to create a space where diversity is celebrated and where every participant feels valued.
Dialogue and Respect
For us, theater is conversation. We practice dialogue within our collective, where each voice matters, and with our audiences, who are essential to the meaning of our work. Respect is the foundation of this dialogue—respect for individuals, for differences, and for the art itself.
Community Engagement
Our association is deeply rooted in Brest. We value the relationship we have with our local community and seek to strengthen it through our projects. Theater is not an isolated art; it grows when it is connected to the lives and concerns of the people it touches.
Transmission and Education
We value the act of sharing knowledge, skills, and passion. Transmission is central to our identity, as we consider it our responsibility to inspire future generations of theater-makers and spectators. Through education and workshops, we ensure that our values live on and continue to enrich others.
Commitment to Quality and Integrity
While we embrace experimentation, we are equally committed to quality in our work. Integrity guides us in every project—we remain faithful to our values and ensure that our art reflects sincerity, authenticity, and dedication.
Why Our Values Matter
These values are not fixed but evolving. They adapt as our collective grows and as the world around us changes. Yet they remain the constant backbone of LES FILLES DE LA PLUIE, reminding us of why we exist and what we strive for.
By living these values daily, we ensure that our association continues to be not only a place of artistic creation but also a space of human connection, learning, and community building.
