Publisher's Synopsis

This title analyses the expansion of head and body masking from nineteenth-century Paris to its international maturity in contemporary culture. The 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.
