Harlekin

In the vast stage world of Commedia dell'Arte emerges now a charming fool, whose name is Harlequin. Carried forth by his jovial follies, he delights the people with lively play and rises as a true icon of art. Originally known as the "French" Arlecchino, he is, without a doubt, the blooming flower of this time-honored comedy. Once a loyal and foolish servant, that second Zanni to the esteemed Pantalone, but in the meandering current of development, he overcame his colleague Brighella and stepped forward as a distinct figure, a hero in the heart of the common folk. His nature is of childlike simplicity, blessed with constant mirth and imbued with boundless hunger.

The recklessness that reigns within him gladly seizes the faintest fascination for insignificant things and leads him astray from work and duties. In endless enchantment with the most trivial fare, he moves on, guided by the pleasure of play and the unleashed passion to turn ordinary life on its head. With swift steps and frenzied banter, he traverses the intricacies of the stage, bringing the audience to tears of joy and setting hearts aflutter. The colorful garments that adorn his body reflect his mixed nature, while his eyes sparkle like the stars in the night sky.

His language is permeated with wit and wordplay, a true whirlwind of humor. He devours the people's bursts of laughter like precious honey, and his mischievous face elicits an endless echo of joy from them. Thus, Lord Harlequin may be known as the glorious fool, but his true significance lies in revealing the hidden secrets of the human soul. In him, the joys and sorrows of everyday life merge into a fireworks display of laughter, shattering the chains of convention and uplifting the hearts of the people. In every gesture, every glance, every step, he reveals the essence of humanity and leaves an indelible mark on the stages of time.
