Tracking down Turica
Turica, Čoroje and Vila are famous but insufficiently researched old Dubrovnik masks. These are not insignificant masks, mere casual personages in Carnival festivities. The author assumes their participation in sword dances, in some variant of the moresca or chain-dance during the period of the Dubrovnik Republic, arguing this through comparison with similar phenomena around the Mediterranean. If the assumption is correct, it becomes clear why these masks enjoyed special privileges bestowed by the secular and ecclesiastical authorities in Dubrovnik, and why they also appeared on certain occasions outside of the Carnival period. In this light, the masked trio are seen as part of the pre-Christian ritual nucleus which, transformed by various dance and literary influences throughout the centuries, served as a starting point of professional dance and the drama theatre in Croatia.
