Harlequin

Harlequin

Harlequin is the best-known of the comic servant characters (Zanni) from the Italian commedia dell'arte, associated with the city of Bergamo. The role is traditionally believed to have been introduced by the Italian actor-manager Zan Ganassa in the late 16th century. It was definitively popularized by the Italian actor Tristano Martinelli in Paris in 1584–1585, and became a stock character after Martinelli's death in 1630.

Harlequin (Lady Gaga album)

Harlequin is a soundtrack album by American singer-songwriter Lady Gaga, released on September 27, 2024, by Interscope Records. It was produced by Gaga, alongside BloodPop, David Campbell, Jason Ruder, and Benjamin Rice. The record is musically inspired by and includes alternate takes of songs from the soundtrack for the musical thriller film Joker: Folie à Deux (2024), in which Gaga portrays the DC Comics character Harley Quinn. Gaga stated that Harlequin serves as a "companion album" to the film, while some publications have referred to it as a soundtrack album, alongside the film's official soundtrack released a week later. Thematically, however, critics described Harlequin as a concept album about Harley Quinn, depicting the supervillain from Gaga's perspective.
