The Fool


Fooling is a form of solo improvisation where we meet and play with the cast of characters (that we call ‘masks’) who normally live inside our heads. We follow our impulses - playing with feelings, physical sensations, the world around us. Every performance is unique and unpredictable.

The void in the middle of the room, full of the ungrieved griefs

Audience Feedback:
Seeing the void being carried out was really powerful as was watching help being offered by other fools and received. It actually brings me to tears thinking about it. Thank you Gen for your vulnerable, generous, honest performance and excellent role modelling!
