Арлекин. Немузейные истории.

Harlequin is a jester, rogue, and trickster who originated in the Venetian Comedy of Masks and continues to travel through global culture (remember the film "Joker"). Harlequin was the first fictional character to be excommunicated, and even the French king himself obeyed him. Olga Risenberg, a tour guide at the Sheremetev Palace, recounts Harlequin's adventures through the centuries as part of our regular project "Non-Museum Stories."
