Fool’s Cap, company of the choreographer, director and performer Vinicius Carvalho, was founded in 2015 in England during the creation of the solo show "Hans Pfaall".
Vinicius develops a hybrid work that widens the boundaries of mime and gesture towards other movement disciplines such as dance, clowning, physical theatre. Since its creation, Vinicius has been engaged in choreographic research on movement and expression. At the heart of his work: listening, precision and playing on stage.
In 2019, Vinicius incorporates into his work the possibilities of immersive performances in non-conventional spaces. The encounter of the various artists in the creative process has given rise to important collaborations that have marked the creative path of the company.
Fool’s Cap is not limited to developing new shows; the troupe also cultivates pedagogy which is based on the discoveries made during the creation process. 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 Center of National Monuments, The Glass Menagerie among others.
In 2017, Vinicius Carvalho moved to France where he installed his company. Fool’s Cap has created four shows in its five years of existence.
