LIANG ZHU 3 Everyone has Two Faces

Dance of the Masks: Entering from various parts and at different times, men and women with their profiles first either left or right painted white. It appears then that everyone has a white face. They dance, greet each other etc… maintaining this white profile. Then they change directions to reveal a red profile… they finally face the audience to show their true colours…that they have both white and red profiles… two different aspects of their personality. The question is WHO AM I? When faced with certain situations, who am I? How does an individual cope with the influence of society’s unseen pressure? What is this idea of “saving face” or “losing face”? How true are we to ourselves when we wear masks?
