WELCOME TO BELLE ESPRIT HerStory
|
Belle Esprit is a feminist theater collective committed to uplifting stories by, for, and about people of marginalized genders throughout history.
Based in Atlanta, Belle Esprit challenges the white male-centric definition of "classical theater" by reviving pre-20th century works by women+ and recentering the non-cis-male experience in classic and historical narratives. |
Our Mission
At Belle Esprit...
We believe history is fertile, rather than fixed.
We believe in the power of classical stories to reveal truths about our present and inspire progress in our future.
We believe that re-centering women in historical narratives is an urgent and empowering act.
We believe in uplifting the voices of women & nonbinary people who have been systemically sidelined by theater history.
We believe it is a revolutionary act to depict women in the full, flawed spectrum of their humanity.
We believe in creating the Classics of Tomorrow.
We believe HerStory/TheirStory is OurStory.
