Topeng Mask

The Topeng mask is not a disguise—it is a revelation. In wearing it, the dancer does not hide but transforms, becoming a vessel through which ancestral spirits, myths, and archetypes speak. Each mask holds a soul, a silence, a story waiting to be embodied.

About Artist

Lucas Dragone

Lucas Dragone born in 1981 is an awards wining Photographer. Having studied at the Lassaad International School of Theatre in Brussels, still today Lucas keeps very close ties with Lassaad, who he considers to be one of his life-long mentors. He worked with the Compagnie Barbiana in Belgium as performer, director and teacher. In the past few years, Lucas initiated a project of documenting and capturing various forms of theaters from Asia and around the world through his camera. By doing this, Lucas hopes to contribute to the documentation of theatre forms: to try and depict the transmission of this cultural patrimony to the next generations by witnessing and photographing the work of masters, the craftsmanship of the creators, enter the world of actors, artists and directors from preparation to the performance.
