Many things can be hidden behind a simple grin: joy, amusement, malice—even madness. No other human expression bears so great a variety, and no other character such power and charisma as the joker. The story of this legendary archetype spans millennia, embracing figures like the Dionysian characters of Ancient Greek tragedies, the jesters of Medieval courts, and even modern comedians, all related by the capacity to mock the powerful and disrupt commonly accepted truths. In this new Premium deck, the figure of the joker emerges from the black shadow of Corrado Roi’s deep inks to shake up all certainties. Each Arcanum shows one of the joker’s 78 faces to reveal a side of his rich and multifaceted persona.
