Fool’s Cap, company of the director, choreographer and performer Vinicius Carvalho, was founded in 2015 in England. Currently based in France, Fool's Cap is managed by the legal structure Association scène hybride.
People and human relationships are at the heart of the company's works. Its creations touch on universal themes such as freedom, perseverance, love, fear, addiction and justice. As a migrant from Brazil, Vinicius Carvalho produces work which speaks to a large audience, as well as welcoming artists from various backgrounds, crossing culture, age and language barriers.
The company researches on the borders between theatre and dance. It combines theatrical situation with choreography, character work with neutrality, intention with gesture. Vinicius draws from his background in physical theatre, mime, mask-work, contemporary dance, contact improvisation, clowning, as well as non-expressive practices such as meditation and yoga.
Since 2019, Fool's Cap is supported by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux (LeCMN) to create site-specific performances in public monuments across France. The Conciergerie, the Pantheon, the Abbaye de Montmajour, the Château de Vincennes and the Château de Rambouillet are monuments with which the company has already collaborated.
Fool’s Cap is not limited to creating shows. The company develops a pedagogical program based on discoveries made during its creative processes. In five years of existence, the company has toured in Europe, Brazil, India and South Korea, in partnership with the Arts Council England, the European Cultural Foundation, Odin Teatret, La Briqueterie, Le Centre des Monuments Nationaux, La Menagerie de Verre among others.
