  • Captain Medium

    $115.00$150.00
    Character : Here comes Captain Matamoro! No need being scared of him because in spite of his ferocious, arrogant and authoritarian bearing the Captain is nothing but a braggart and a pathetic coward. He will tell anyone who listens that he can subdue whole armies by himself. He also will tell you that he has faced the enemy in a one to a thousand match without ever a scratch. The truth is that the Captain has never been wounded for the simple fact that he has never been in combat. The Captain is some sort of soldiering Don Juan, a coward, lazy and boisterous chicken-hearted milksop. Costume and Mask : The Captain is dressed as a Spanish soldier and wears an enormous hat with feathers cascading to the side, a doublet, a large belt and a huge dagger. His mask shows him to be menacing and bellicose. He has a long, bulbous nose leading to a handsome moustache.
  • Classical Harlequin

    $115.00$150.00
    Character : Harlequin is a humble, fun-loving, witty, buffoon, dumb, credulous and lazy servant. Always famished, his obsession with food brings him to appear more stupid than he really is in order to deceive his victim. He invents all sorts of tactics, stratagems, somersaults and acrobatics. The rest of the time, he seeks above all to lay around and avoid the least possible effort. Sometimes he is Columbine’s lover, and, therefore, Pedrolino’s rival. Costume and Mask : Harlequin’s original costume was a white suit so worn that he had constantly mend it with patches to hide the holes. Little by little it becomes a multicolored quilt of a suit. Thus was conceived Harlequin’s costume which everyone can now easily identify with its colorful diamond-shaped patches. Harlequin also carries a wooden bat, a slapstick, as a relic of his old trade as a cowherd in Bergamo. His mask is rather coarse. It is pug-nosed and shows a lump on the forehead, symbol of all the blows he has endured. His cheeks are gaunt as witness to his perpetual hunger.
  • Colombina Natural

    $115.00$150.00
    Character : A cunning country girl, self-assured yet humble servant or bright soubrette, always impertinent but with a keen wit, Colombina is either the daughter, the wife or the mistress of Pantalone; she can be Pierrot’s friend or a romantic and playful ingenue to Harlequin. Colombina is the best known of the servants. She is the old Pantalone’s housekeeper. She is young and pretty, resourceful, firm and naughty with a quick repartee and easy virtue. She is an incomparable liar and uses treachery to advance her own romances or those of her young Mistresses. Very astute, she leads Harlequin by the nose. Pantalone finds himself enamored by her feminine charm and attempts to court her, inciting Harlequin to jealous fits. Costume and Mask : Colombine occasionally wears a light vest over a multicolored skirt as well as a small white apron. She rarely wears a mask but, if so, it will be a rather feminine but quite ordinary black velvet loup.

  • Zanni Ingenuous

    $125.00$160.00
    They are the most buffoon characters of the Commedia dell’arte. They make up the larger family of servants and poorest low class country folk who always suffered famines and wars and who came to the city hoping to find a better life. Arlecchino, Brighella, Pulchinello and Pedrolino are among them: they are the servants, gardeners, coachmen, valets, deadwood pickers or simple vendors of cooked apples. They work at hundreds of woeful little trades. That is why they have to remain astute, cunning and smart, having to forever invent new tricks in order to fill both their stomachs and their purses.
  • Long Pantaloon

    $130.00$165.00
    Character : According to circumstances, in turn father, husband, widower or bachelor, this old Venetian merchant is as rich as he is miserly, a true skinflint. He is as faudulent in business as he is stern with his servants. When not worried about money, Pantalone has but one thing in mind: finding a beautiful and very young girl to marry since he still sees himself as handsome and frisky. Useless to say, none of these beauties is interested in him as a husband. This character his very important in the Commedia dell’arte. Without him there can be no comedy because each one of his weaknesses allows the other characters to prey on him, particularly his servants who always attempt to steal from him in retaliation for his stinginess. He will usually have one or two daughters (Isabelle, Rosaure, Camille or Smeraldine) whom he finds difficult to marry off. They, in turn, are well served in their disobedience by smart and bold maidservants. Costume and Mask : The raspy voiced, Pantalone is an old, skinny hunched-over character. He wears long, red stockings, which he wore in his young days, but which are now too large for his frail legs. He shows a voluminous fly to attract attention to his manhood which, everyone around him agrees, is very much part of his past. He also dons soft slippers or Turkish sandals, a narrow red waistcoat with large buttons and a red cloak or, as pertinent to the development of his character, a black suit covered with a rich black cassock. His head covering is a Greek bonnet without edges; a purse hangs from his belt. His mask will be in pale tones (beige, pale brown or whitish) with a long, crooked and often warty nose. Pantalone shows a fine gray moustache and from his bony chin protrudes a goatee.

  • Doctor Classical

    $100.00$135.00
    Character : First “Doctor” does not mean a medical expert. It is a respectful title given to a well-educated person and the Doctor will tell you that there is no one on earth as knowledgeable as he is. He knows it all, has seen it all, he is pedantic and appears impressive, but most often he only exhibits sheer nonsense. In fact, the Doctor is an idiot, a pompous individual. He uses beautiful speeches to ensure that he is invited daily to dinner. The doctor is not only stupid and vain, he is equally a cheat and king of the gluttons. The Doctor is at times a lawyer, a judge, or a minister to some Prince, but rarely is he a medical doctor. He has the reputation of prattling incessantly and talking through his hat. He varnishes his never-ending discourses with dubious Latin citations and absurd maxims. Any attempt to interrupt him is dommed to fail. If perchance he qualifies as a medical doctor, he is more of a quack who prescribes bizarre medicines. On stage his acting is more static than that of Pantalone. It consists of word games and long, meaningless sentences sustained only by the pseudo-gravity of his character. According to the plot, he can either be Pantalone’s rival or his assistant. Costume and Mask : This character is a man in his sixties with an enormous belly and wine-colored cheeks from which arises a large wart. A dark, half-mask covers only his forehead and nose. His nose is rather bulbous and fleshy and often shows warts. It lies between two large, dark moustaches. As do the Bolognese erudite, he wears an ample black frock which reaches down to his knees and above it there is a longer one of the same shade. His coat shows a white bib (often a neck ruff) and his head is covered with a bonnet as worn by notaries, or a wide-brim doctor’s hat.
  • Brighella Paunchy

    $115.00$150.00
    Character : Brighella is one of the oldest and truest representations of the buffoon servant of Italian repertoire. His name comes from “briga”, quarrelsome. Just like Harlequin, he comes from Bergamo in Lombardy, but he is far more astute since he lives in the “upper” city. He defines himself as follows: “I am famous for the best of treacheries since I invented them all.” Frauds and intrigues are his brand name. Capable of anything, cunning as a fox, impudent with women, ultra brave when he has nothing to fear, thanks to his smooth tongue, his talents as a musician and dancer, and an uncanny ability, Brighella can render multiple services. He finds himself perfectly able to carry out any and all occupations and becomes, in turn, according to the needs of the moment, bar owner, sergeant, clerk or servant. He arranges marriages and manipulates his Masters without scruple. Costume and Mask : He wears a coat and an odd hat in the shape oa a cap, with green tassels. A purse and a dagger hang from his belt. His dark or greenish mask is coarser than Harlequin’s. He sports a large handle-bar moustache. He has prominent eyebrows and deep-set eyes
  • Punchinello Classical

    $100.00$135.00
    Character : The glutton hunchback with a falsetto voice can also adopt several roles: valet or servant, baker, landlord, monastery guard, peasant, merchant, soldier, bandit, thief. The fairies which leaned on his crib must have been witches because he has inherited mostly unpleasant traits: he shouts and becomes angry at anything, he is a brutal, vulgar, wicked, greedy robber and liar. His movements are slow and his unkempt appearance turn him into a simpleton, but his mind is sharp, particularly in his repartees as he adresses the audience directly. He is Harlequin’s enemy and a fight is more than likely to erupt every time they meet. This character does not play a large part in dramatic literature. He is much more present in Puppetry. Costume and Mask : He wears a white smock bound at the waist with a string and a pair of equally large white trousers. His typical hat is made in the shape of a white or gray sugarloaf. He never goes without an enormous club. His mask is often greenish or dark red with a large hawkishhook nose and his forehead is striated by prominent warty eyebrows.
  • Colombina

    $110.00$145.00
    Character : A cunning country girl, self-assured yet humble servant or bright soubrette, always impertinent but with a keen wit, Colombina is either the daughter, the wife or the mistress of Pantalone; she can be Pierrot’s friend or a romantic and playful ingenue to Harlequin. Colombina is the best known of the servants. She is the old Pantalone’s housekeeper. She is young and pretty, resourceful, firm and naughty with a quick repartee and easy virtue. She is an incomparable liar and uses treachery to advance her own romances or those of her young Mistresses.
