Venice and Japan are known for their masks–Carnival masks and Noh masks, respectively.

The course will include investigations into the history of masking in Venice, which extends far beyond the masks of carnival, concepts of “face” and unmasking in Japan, carnival, commedia dell’arte, noh, and bunraku.
