Commedia dell’Arte is darkened by the legends that surrounded it and by the symbols that arose around it. It is darkened by its desire for knowledge, by the simple image, for example, of a theatre that hides and exceeds its limits, free and closed at the same time by the mask. For, although it’s the emblem, Arlecchino’s mask seems to escape form the theatre, it leads to „magic” and „religion” in the commedia and, on the face of the actor, to a much more large dimension than the human.
