commedia dell'arte

  At Arlecchina's Masks, we are committed to creating both traditional and new variations on Commedia Dell'Arte masks.   We are also very interested in creating masks for women, both smaller male masks and female versions of traditional characters.   

 

classic commedia

 

 Most of our masks are based on etchings, paintings, and other research into what the commedia masks looked like.  They are not purely traditional, in that, in an attempt to make them affordable for theatre groups and schools,  we have created them out of Neoprene and paint (traditional masks are made from leather).   In some cases we have created masks for characters that are not traditionally masked.  All masks can be painted in different color schemes, or painted without highlights to look closer to the traditional leather.
