A masque is a form of theatrical entertainment that originated in the 16th century, characterized by elaborate costumes, music, and dance, often featuring a blend of poetry and visual spectacle. It was popular in the courts of Europe, especially in England under King James I and during the reign of Charles I. Masques typically conveyed themes of love, mythology, and allegory, and were performed for nobility and royalty during celebrations. The term can also refer to a type of mask worn in such performances or in other festive contexts.
