Capucine Duchamp (born November 4, 1998 in Le Chesnay-Rocquencourt, Yvelines), known by the stage name Le Cas Pucine, is a French comedian, puppeteer, and ventriloquist.
She initially trained heavily in classical music from a very young age, but found out at age 14 that she could speak without moving her lips, and went on to study Arts of Spectacle in Brussels. With her trademark puppet Eliott (a green anthropomorphic dragon), she went viral on YouTube and won Season 14 of the Talent Show France's Got an Incredible Talent (the local version of America's Got Talent) in 2019.
She has performed on stage in overtures for the shows of comedians Chantal Ladesou, Alex Lutz or Anne Roumanoff, then started her own shows in 2021 with Main mise.
Tropes & Trivia in her works include:
- Celebrity Voice Actor: Capucine has provided some background animal talking in Zootopia 2.
- Chivalrous Pervert: Eliott is at worst a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and he watches porn or suggests Capucine to try sex-related things.
- Crappy Holidays: Eliott hates Christmas, as he never receives gifts and never goes outside to buy gifts because of the crowded city centers (and never wants to "buy objects made in China that will only be used the evening they're unpacked").
- Draconic Humanoid: Eliott is an anthropomorphic dragon with child-friendly features and a Kermit-like green skin.
- Fitness Nut: In a video, Eliott starts training like crazy at the gym to lose weight, including filling a whole glass with protein powder and downing it all.
- The Merch: In the Christmas 2022 video, Eliott is at first nonplussed by plush toys made in his image. Then he's horrified when Capucine giddily shows him a video of a kid then a dog abusing them and he jumps on his PC to try to order all his "children" to save them.
- The Internet Is for Porn: Capucine once caught Eliott watching a porn site.
- Punny Name: Capucine took her name and made it her stage name as "Le Cas Pucine" (translation: "The Case Pucine").
- Self-Deprecation: In the overture shows Capucine performed, Eliott went on rants telling her she easily got an audience due to performing in front of a crowd that paid big money to watch big name comedians and not her.
- Sleep Deprivation: In one video, Eliott has troubles sleeping and becomes even more annoying to Capucine as a result.
- Special Guest: Capucine was a contestant at Fort Boyard in 2020, and she brought Eliott along for a few vignettes.
- Ventriloquism: How Capucine makes Eliott talk, without moving her lips.
