This hand-puppet pantomime is inspired by the world famous performances in Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens. Harlequin's Cloak introduces young audiences to the timeless stories of Commedia dell'Arte characters: Harlequin, Columbine and Pierrot. By the mid-15th Century Commedia dell'Arte was known throughout Italy and began to spread across Europe. The traditional cast of characters had a significant presence in the theater of Denmark and France, Moliere's classics can be traced directly to Commedia. The comical Harlequin, the beautiful & clever Columbine, greedy Pantalone and the swash-buckling El Capitano, all star in this original creation by Coad Canada Puppets. The performance is presented on a beautiful proscenium including a Peacock Curtain that folds to the floor in tribute to the original stage at the theater in Tivoli.
