Fool's Cap company
Choreographic work for the stage and site-specific
creation - research - pedagogy
Pushing the boundaries of dance and tackling themes on human relations, that's the heart of Fool’s Cap's work.
Created in 2015 by the choreographer Vinicius Carvalho, Fool’s Cap invests in a broad approach to dance: transdisciplinary, breaking through the boundaries between dance, theatre, mime and performance. The company has toured in Europe, Brazil, UK, India and South Korea with support from Arts Council England, European Cultural Foundation, Odin Teatret, La Briqueterie CDCN, Centre National de la Danse, Mediterranean Dance Center, Menagerie de Verre, Danish Arts Foundation, Goethe Institut, Culture Moves Europe, among others.
Its activities are rooted in three main pillars: creation, research and pedagogy. The shows deal with universal themes and have often a popular approach to varied audiences. Research is shared with the community through participation. Pedagogy takes place through workshops activities aimed at professionals and amateurs.
From 2019-22, the company was supported by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux in France which gave birth to a new research on site-specific work. Establishing a dialogue between movement and architecture, stage and audience, Fool's Cap created a series of bespoken performances in collaboration with places such as the Panthéon, the Conciergerie, the Abbey of Montmajour, the Château de Vincennes, the Château de Maisons, the Palais du Tau and the Château de Rambouillet.
Fool's Cap is managed by the Association Scène Hybride based in Montreuil, France.
