Sotie

Sottíe (French Sotie, from sot, " fool " ), fools game, name a kind of dramatic antics or satires, which belonged as the moralities and farces the early days of the French drama, and their people were fools.

They were Enfants sans souci from, then also given by members of the Bazoche and distinguished themselves particularly by the clumsiness of their roles and boldly reproving language.

Since Gringore, who wrote many such pieces, usually with typical fool figures, such as le prince Sot, la mère Sotte etc., they were executed and were given a political or ecclesiastical- satirical escalation.

In the first half of the 17th century, the Sottien gradually disappeared from the stage as seen from the street. In Germany, where they spread from France, they merged with the carnival games.
