The topic is theatre work based on the following authors:

Has anybody heard about this concept in English?

Thank you!

full costume


Explanation:
In terms of the Carnival in Basel, "Vollmasken" refers to the entire costume, not just the mask proper. "Vollmasken" are full costumes as opposed to just masks. The term is also used for people who dress up as something or other instead of just putting on a mask.
