Capitano Masks

Newman's handmade Commedia and neutral masks

Representing Spanish Mercinary Soldiers; despised by the Italians and ridiculed in the theatre of the marketplace, Il Capitano became a popular stock character of the Commedia Dell'Arte.

Newman has used the 17th century engravings of Jaques Callot to create a variety of takes on the shabby, bombastic and cowardly Capitano and created a few new nincompoops to boot (ie Capitano Tres Huevos.... most men have only two!).

Newman and his Balinese wife Ida Ayu Putu Sri Juniari (Juni Newman) now have a studio in the performance mask capital of the universe; Ubud, Bali, from which we continue to make and supply fine leather Commedia Masks September through May. May through August we work in our Takilma, Oregon Studio. We ship them worldwide via Fed Ex from our Balinese sister company C.V.Commedia Mask (or our Oregon Studio when we're there). We can usually get the masks delivered anywhere in the world within ten days of receiving an order. If you are in Ubud, give us a call or we can be reached via our email commediamask@gmail.com, whether we are in Bali or Oregon.
