Story
of Bali, Indonesia
The
old, pale faced
man with bushy white
beard and moustache,
who continually
drops from fatigue,
and peers uneasily
on himself and around
himself for vermin; the palate
less Arab with
Semitic nose
and fez, who lisps in bad
Malay; the brown-faced,
huge-nosed, white-eye
browed pedanda,
with great dropping
teeth, whose exaggerated
mudras are punctuated
by comic gestures
and whose ritual bell
passes with Alice
in Wonderland logic into
the bell of an ice-cream
vendor; the snub
nosed, short grey
mask who shakes with inward laughter
at nothing at all, and
sets his pop-eyes quivering;
the two homosexuals who bloom and wilt in fairy coquetry,
counter pointed by the gusty zeal of a cheery hundred-per-cent
male; the yellow, furrowed, eyeless mask, who blows
about like a leaf in a gale, almost failing, but never
quite-these are only a sample of the masks which may
appear at one performance. Please
