Theatrical masks are specially designed face coverings used in performances to convey emotions, characters, or themes. They have been a part of various cultures, notably in ancient Greek theater, where they helped actors project their voices and express different roles. Masks can be made from materials like wood, cloth, or plastic and often feature exaggerated facial expressions. In addition to traditional theater, masks are also used in commedia dell'arte, Noh theater, and Kabuki, each with its unique style and purpose. These masks not only enhance storytelling but also allow performers to transform into their characters, creating a more immersive experience for the audience.
