In pantomime, the love scenes between Harlequin and Columbine dwindled into brief displays of dancing and acrobatics, the fairy-tale opening was restored to its original pre-eminence, and by the end of the century the harlequinade had become merely a brief epilogue to the pantomime.

He introduced pantomime to the English stage and played a dancing and mute Harlequin himself from 1717 – 60 under the stage name of " Lun.

Mother and child with Harlequin, unknown Flemish painting | Flemish painter, 18th century

Shah argues that the Arabic name aghlaq-which was given to such sufi masters-with plural form " aghlaqueen " pronounced with the guttural gh-as the Spanish jota, would have given the word Harlequin.

Pierrot, under the flour and blouse of the illustrious Bohemian, assumed the airs of a master and an aplomb unsuited to his character ; he gave kicks and no longer received them ; Harlequin now scarcely dared brush his shoulders with his bat ; Cassander would think twice before boxing his ears.

In 1860, Deburau was directly credited with inspiring such anguish, when, in a novella called Pierrot by Henri Rivière, the mime-protagonist blames his real-life murder of a treacherous Harlequin on Baptiste's " sinister " cruelties.

Harlequin and Columbina | Columbine from the mime theater at Pantomimeteatret | Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, Denmark

His character in postmodern popular culture — in poetry, fiction, the visual arts, as well as works for the stage, screen, and concert hall — is that of the sad clown, pining for love of Columbine, who usually breaks his heart and leaves him for Harlequin.

Casorti's son, Giuseppe ( 1749 – 1826 ), had undoubtedly been impressed by the Pierrots they had seen while touring France in the late 18th century, for he assumed the role and began appearing as Pierrot in his own pantomimes, which now had a formulaic structure ( Cassander, father of Columbine, and Pierrot, his dim-witted servant, undertake a mad pursuit of Columbine and her rogue lover, Harlequin ).

The formula has proven enduring: Pierrot is still a fixture at Bakken, the oldest amusement park in the world, where he plays the nitwit talking to and entertaining children, and at nearby Tivoli Gardens, the second oldest, where the Harlequin and Columbine act is performed as a pantomime and ballet.

As in the Bakken pantomimes, that plot hinged upon Cassander's pursuit of Harlequin and Columbine — but it was complicated, in Baptiste's interpretation, by a clever and ambiguous Pierrot.

* Harlequin and Columbine ( 1921 )

The story of the Harlequinade revolves around a comic incident in the lives of its five main characters: Harlequin, who loves Columbine ; Columbine's greedy father Pantaloon, who tries to separate the lovers in league with the mischievous Clown ; and the servant, Pierrot, often involving a chase scene with a policeman.

From these, the standard English harlequinade developed, depicting the eloping lovers Harlequin and Columbine, pursued by the girl's father, Pantaloon, and his comic servants.

At the end of the first part, stage illusions were employed in a transformation scene turning the characters of the pantomime into Harlequin, Columbine and their fellows.

Columbine is a lovely woman, who has caught the eye of Harlequin.

" " The Cry of Eugene ", which was later re-recorded by Jackson's group Jackson Heights, refers to " Harlequin & Columbine ".

In the landscape described above ( and populated by the same warring spirits ), Harlequin, the lover, carries Columbine off, triggering a pursuit by her papa, Cassander, and his serving-man Pierrot.

What he is remembering is a scene from Pierrot Everywhere: Pierrot has just stolen Columbine from Harlequin, and he, Cassander, and Leander, along with the fiancées of the latter two, have stumbled upon an oven with magical powers.

Meanwhile Harlequin sticks his head up through the emberbox and signals to Columbine to run off with him.

Meanwhile, Harlequin has come back in ; he makes Columbine step down — she was already on the shovel — and seizes Pierrot.

The plot of the Harlequinade was relatively simple ; the star-crossed lovers, Harlequin and Columbine, run away from Columbine's father, Pantaloon, who is being slowed down in his pursuit of them by his servant The Clown.

The principle male and female characters, also called " the lovers " and typically both played by young women, from the beginning plotline become Columbine and Harlequin, the mother or father of Columbine becomes Pantaloon and the servant character, the Clown.
