Description

This book highlights that masquerade can be regarded as a distinct genre of performance activity that employs elements of the carnivalesque, circus, dance, gestural theatre and theatre of objects. Popenhagen traces artistic disguising from fin de si�cle Pierrots in Paris, Marseille and Vienna to early twentieth-century masquerading in Moscow and Z�rich. He explores identity play and display through the complementary lenses of image studies, cultural history and performance theory.
