"The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled." Plutarch

Ancient Greek theater held comedy and tragedy as the central pillars of theatrical expression. The corresponding two masks used to represent these themes marked the boundaries of the theatrical experience. Since then, theater has evolved. These reimagined masks, depict ambiguous expressions and signify a more expansive range of genres, storytelling techniques, and artistic interpretation found in contemporary productions.
