Mask maker, actor and dancer Rob Faust of Faustworks Mask Theater,
will present “The Mask Messenger,” on Thursday, Sept.
23, beginning at 3 p.m. in Berea College’s Phelps Stokes
Chapel.
“The Mask Messenger” is an engaging mix of monologue,
physical comedy and theatre. In a solo performance, Faust explores
the artistic, cultural and psychological use of masks throughout
history and their power to transform people.
Included are oversized silent masks, half-masked characters that
speak, and crawling creatures in masks worn on top of the head.
There is quick-change artistry, an occasional celebrity appearance,
and physical distortions that baffle the eye and tickle some sort
of primal funny bone. Audience members are a vital part of the
show.
Since 1993, Faustwork company members have performed more than
3,500 shows throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and
Hong Kong. For more information, visit www.faustwork.com.
The performance is free and open to the public.
