Carnival theatre performance in Ladin language

The opening of cultural and tourist sites

ATTENTION: The opening of cultural and tourist sites, access to them, to public transport and to the services described in these pages is governed by the containment measures put in place by the government authorities and the Autonomous Province of Trento to deal with the COVID-19 health emergency. The rules may vary over time and provide for the application of different security measures — from closure, to social distancing, to the mandatory use of personal protective equipment such as gloves and masks. We therefore ask you to consult the section Travelling safely on this website and to contact the managers directly for updated information on how to gain access.

The so called "mascherèdes" are farces in the Ladin language with funny cheeky characters dressed up in traditional Carnival costumes. At the end of each performance, when general chaos reigns, characters split up into two groups: good-looking masks and ugly masks. "Bal del Barbier" - literarily "barber’s dance" - represents the humorous climax of the show and it is followed by dancing that usually lasts till late night. These evocative shows is staged at 8.00 p.m. in the disused primary school of Penìa under the direction of the group "Grop de la Mèscres de Dèlba e Penìa".
