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.
