The Badwills, The Italian Cultural Institute in Edinburgh and Summerhall present Carnevale! The first appointment in the hugely popular Mediterraneo concert series for 2014. A night of live music and masquerade, with dance and stories woven through the rhythms and sounds of tarantella, pizzica and more.
Carnevale is the time of the year when the world is turned upside down. The fool becomes wise, the rich poor, the beautiful ugly, the servant Harlequin is master for a day and Pulcinella the liar has come to tell the truth.
It’s a night of masks, of mysterious creatures, of characters from the Commedia dell’Arte, from the canals of Venice and the alleys of Montemarano. So come with your favorite mask or carnival costume, and join the Masquerade!
And remember Semel in Anno, Licet Insanire, that is, “Once a year we can all go mad!”
