Enfants sans souci

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enfants sans souci , French , Name of a company which, under Charles VI. in Paris for the performance of games of mockery, the so-called sotties , had been privileged.

The Enfants sans souci created great competition for the Confrérie de la Passion and the Bazoche cooperative . They were under their own head, who bore the title "prince des sots" ("Prince of Fools"), but were suppressed several times because of the licentiousness and rawness that later characterized the plays and came to a definitive end in 1659 .
