The Sacred Fool

Artist Chris Carlone on channeling this ancient archetype by Cáit NíSíomón

The Sacred Fool is an archetype that has existed for centuries. Often seen as an eccentric with the intended behavior to disrupt, provoke and inspire. Actor, filmmaker, performance artist and musician, Chris Carlone, is no exception, with these archetypal antics central to his artistic practice for over thirty years. Since 2024, his workshops have been inspiring others to channel their own inner fool.
