About La Cooperative Des Travailleuses Et Travailleurs De Theatre Des Bois Francs

Overview

La Cooperative des Travailleuses et Travailleurs de Theatre des Bois-Francs is dedicated to creating intervention theater performances and showcasing approximately 350 interactive shows addressing audiences of all ages. Their programs cover topics such as bullying, cyberbullying, violence in all its forms, prevention of abuse towards seniors, prevention of violent radicalization, inclusion and coexistence, anxiety, parental distress, caregiver support, and various other contemporary issues specific to North American society.

Mission

Théâtre Parminou's mission is to develop a popular theatre that is deeply engaged with the social problems of its era, bringing intervention theatre directly to the communities and settings where it is most needed. Devoted to awareness-raising and citizen education, the cooperative creates real democratic spaces of speech and dialogue — in schools, workplaces, community centres, prisons, and public squares — to help individuals better understand themselves and others. Through its unique dramaturgical approach, it contributes to the emergence of possible changes for the betterment of individuals and the collective.

Vision

Théâtre Parminou envisions a society in which theatre and culture are recognized as common goods, and in which artistic creation serves as a shared democratic space for dialogue, reflection, and collective change. The cooperative works toward a world where art is placed in service of the common good — fostering better understanding among individuals, supporting citizen education, and contributing to the emergence of positive change for both individuals and communities. Its values of cooperation, creativity, equity, accessibility, and engagement guide all aspects of its work, and it has also committed to sustainable development principles.

Unique value proposition

Théâtre Parminou is a recognized pioneer of intervention theatre in Quebec, with over 50 years of expertise in creating custom-made theatrical works perfectly adapted to the most complex social realities of its clients and communities. Unlike conventional theatre companies, it co-creates each production in direct collaboration with specialized organizations and target audiences, ensuring that its shows are both artistically rigorous and precisely tailored to the needs of the commissioning partner. Its touring model brings professional theatre directly into the settings where audiences live and work — schools, factories, seniors' residences, prisons, and community halls — reaching populations with little or no prior exposure to theatre, and its productions are systematically accompanied by pedagogical guides, workshops, and mediation activities that extend the theatrical experience into lasting social dialogue.
