Theatrical Mask
Mask – from the ancient times it is an important attribute of theatrical actions.
Generally it is an emblematic picture of theatrical architecture as a whole. Theatrical mask has historically gone out of the ceremonial masks. Traditionally exists as in the form of molding on the face (Theater of ancient Greece, Buddhists mystery theater, comedy art and so on), as and in the form of Grim mask (Japanese theater Hoo and Kabuki).Pictured a “stranger face” or presented as “Impersonal”, “anonymous”, hiding the face / a part of the face under neutral bandage.
With the help of masks in modern theater the emotions of a moving body of an actor (according to statistic masks, hiding the face) are emphasized, helps to relieve from all possible prohibitions (including from social and sexual) and attains stage grotesque. In the modern theater practice it is frequently used to accept publicly “putting” and “taking out” of masks, making the situation itself “transformation”, “change”, “reincarnation” of the actors visible for the audience. Such a way, an exemption is achieved to the performer from the character, the existing border between “Games” and “Life” is underlined.
Mask is for dramatic means of representation of a man. Dramaturgy type of masks – a schematic un- ascertained picture of man, related with the search of general universal human being qualities (thematic, gender’s, socials and so on). Close to theatrical specialization, opposite to the dramatic character. The type of mask in the drama on account of external events will not undergo internal changes; will not have development, saving from the beginning to the end one and the same features. Strictly restricted behavior for the type-masks, guessing and predicting by virtue of this its actions enables “masque” even in some special conditions dealt with out written dramaturgy, limiting only the script-piece, in which the subject is fixed, sequence of dramatical situations, but not prescribed in detail monologue and dialog of the personage. “Theater masks” is based on the extempore (as, for example, in the theater practice of comedy dell’ arte). Actor of “theater masks”, as per rule, is specialized for performing only one role – particular type of masks. |
