The Arlequin

The society of the Arlequins (Harlequins) is considered a 'fantasy' society and is part of the Royal Athenee in Binche. Arlequins can be played by girls or boys.

The Arlequins were inspired by the Comedia Dell'Arte. Their costume is a shirt and pants printed with yellow, red and green triangles, finished with a black belt. Their green felt hat features a black and grey fur tail. They wear a half-face Harlequin mask with a fur trim, and hold a bat decorated with colorful ribbons.
