Résumé :
Chapter 5 presents notes and observations on a diversity of fools—from Moliere's Tartuffe to Beckett's Clov in Endgame—encountered in theatres between January and June 2022. As COVID-19 restrictions had only recently been lifted, these notes reflect on the fool's role within literary history as an embodiment of vulnerability, risk, and play. At the same time, they serve as a record of a particular moment in time characterised by a recently and radically interrupted sense of the border between public and private bodies.
