We create dreamlike worlds for you to inhabit, explore and investigate. Over a number of years, we have developed a unique practice, Theatre of Manifestation.

We combine mythology, folklore, shamanism, drama therapy, storyteller and open source collaboration in the creation of this work. Each piece takes form by merging text, performance, sound, art, light and the building itself to create a unique, dreamlike world that living characters inhabit.

“During the most critical moments of my creative life, I have always found it difficult to discuss what is occurring. The simple fact is that I don’t like the idea of doing a disservice to a pivotal moment. There is always a need to feed the internet machine, to keep producing content, even when the material and moments should be fully savoured to enable the storytelling process.”

Who are F00lishPe0ple?

We create dreamlike worlds for you to inhabit & investigate. Engaging audiences through film and ritual theatre. Spectators must choose their own journey without guidance, which challenges their habitual way of watching art and entertainment in a passive manner.

We are an award-winning company and have been commissioned by organisations such as the BBC, ICA, Secret Cinema, Wilderness Festival, BE Festival, London Ethical Society and the BFI.

FP have produced work for conventional theatres, galleries and site-specific venues and have collaborated with hundreds of artists across the globe.

FoolishPeople were founded in 1989 and are based in London.

We’re very proud to announce that the award-winning Armageddon Gospels was released on Apple TV on October the 31st 2019.

Written and directed by John Harrigan, Armageddon Gospels explores the cataclysmic effects of Brexit on the British landscape, a historic event that has sent reasonable people mad and turned neighbour against neighbour, shaking the foundations of what it means to be British.

The tale is centred around refugee gods, transposed to flesh and blood, who are washed ashore to rouse the myths of ancient England, half-drowned in a forgotten past. They disperse through shifting realities to awaken the giant Albion and find the holy grail in a ritual to save England from the rot of darkness and hatred that’s strangling its soul.

The film follows in the footsteps of the hit drama-horror film, Strange Factories, released in 2013.
