Mask CultureTheatre Greek Italian Japan Korean Chinese Opera

Greek TheatreGreek Theatre Thalia, the muse of comedy & Melpomene, the muse of tragedy

Greek Theatre 5 th Century BC Comedy & Tragedy Big eyes and mouth Exaggerated expression Project broad emotions (happiness, sadness, anger) to audience from great distance Change of characters (Performance limited to 3 actors)

Roman Times Stylized – Grotesque - Fantastic

Commedia-dell-arte 16 th – 18 th Century Inspired Venetian Masks for the Carnival – the Mardi Gras

Characterization Zanni Zanni originates from Giovanni, a typical name of servants in Italy. The role of Zanni is very changeable; silly, simple-minded and vulgar. Zanni can also be sly, cunning and cheeky. Zanni is always poor and hungry.

Noh Classical Japanese Theatre  Performed since the 14 th century  Tradition more than innovation  Influenced more dramatic form of theatre such as the Kabuki  Only SHITE, the main character, wears the mask  Masks are used to represent female or non-human characters (deities, demons, animals)

Characterization Deigan  Expression of a middle-aged woman  Deeply devoted to a loved one

Characterization Hannya  Horns and sharp fangs are characteristic of a demon.  Demon who is transformed from a woman because of jealousy and anger.  Hannya seeks vengence

 Extravagant masks for deities or monsters  Uses body language to express emotions  Medium expression  Subtle  Versatile; can express a number of emotions by tilting the masks / adjusting the lighting

Korean T’alKorean T’al  Masks are grotesque, exaggerated and use dark and bright colors to suit performance at night by wood fires.  Red, black, white colors are favored.  Most of the masks depict human faces but some represent deities and animals.  An interesting feature is that the masks of yangban, the upper class gentlemen, are almost always deformed: a lopsided mouth, a distorted nose or squint eyes. ( a reflection of the commoners' hostility toward the privileged class )

Chinese OperaChinese Opera  One of the oldest known dramatic art forms worldwide  Chinese opera masks are significant in a way that they represent the characters’ personalities and intense moods.  Opera masks are also used to represent various human emotions which leads to the “changing face” technique. (frequent on-stage change of facial expression)

Characterization Cao Cao  The white face is common on the stage for the powerful villain.  It highlights all that is bad in human nature: cunning, craftiness, and treachery.  Cao Cao, powerful and cruel prime minister in the time of the Three Kingdoms / Qin Hui, treacherous Song Dynasty prime minister who put the national hero YueFei to death

Masks in TheatreMasks in Theatre  Traditionally, masks were used for practical reasons: - for audience to see the expressions of actor/actress to be seen from a great distance - for a change of characters throughout the performance  Later, masks allow for the creative interpretation of characters - the colors, lines and shapes become symbolic and meaningful - stock character (stereotypical fictional characters) can also be represented
