CommediaFlux

Commedia dell’arte was a vibrant form of Italian popular theatre that emerged in the 16th century, built around a cast of recurring stock characters. Figures such as Arlecchino (Harlequin), Pierrot (Pedrolino), Columbina, Il Dottore, Pantalone, Scaramouche, Pulcinella, and La Signora embodied archetypes of tricksters, fools, lovers, scholars, and rogues. Their exaggerated masks, costumes, and gestures gave rise to both comic absurdity and poignant satire, shaping European theatre for centuries and influencing everything from opera to modern clowning.

Each wooden puppet in this model is more than a stage prop — it is envisioned as a mythological spirit, half-character, half-deity, embodying eternal roles of comedy, tragedy, vanity, mischief, greed, and melancholy.

The model produces images that feel at once authentically theatrical and mystically symbolic, rooted in Commedia dell’arte’s history while infused with a timeless, otherworldly atmosphere.
