“And so we will do anything for some affection”
- Mamet, All Men Are Whores
“You leave the theatre after a Mamet play and realize it’s exploded in your brain”
- Robert Brustein

Le Foulard
A tale, of sorts. Starring a woman and a scarf.
saltpeter hosts Paris-based artist Lucy Hopkins. Lucy won the 2011 Prague Fringe Festival Inspiration Award. This is a special sneak preview of Le Foulard, her second solo show.
Lucy graduated from university with a degree in Fine Art, lived and worked in London for two years, then moved to Paris. She spent a year at the Jacques Lecoq school, then two years studying under Philippe Gaulier, who told her she was boring and looked like a sausage.
Since then, Lucy has created RawUs™, a play for two performers, toured France looking for love as one of a trio of clowns (Les Femmes En Voyage), directed clown trio The Gazpacho Brothers, travelled to Georgia twice to do her own mask-making workshops with children, spent a year training and playing with the Parisian improvisation troupe Zarbi & Orbi, and worked in France and Denmark on Thomas Iratus, a new show written and directed by Lecoq graduate Kristian Husted.
Lucy won the Inspiration Award at the Prague Fringe Festival 2011 for her first show: Impossible N'est Pas Français or There's No Such Word As Can't.
She lives in Aubervilliers, a northern suburb of Paris.
