Yesterday night we went to a youth show at the ACA called "The masked messenger." Native New orleaneian Robert Faust, knows how masks work. He is a professional mask maker and acting with the mask. The show was so amazing and funny at the same time. It was like when he put on each mask, it took him over and he assumed the character perfectly with the right body language.
And he explains that a mask doesn't need to cover your face.
It could be makeup, or a blank face.
You wouldn't think that it was him behind the mask.
He explained how he traveled all around the world to experience first hand how masks are used in different cultures.
And, he looked like he was having fun playing the characters onstage!
(That guy above was kinda creepy ...)
It was so amazing!
