Vietnamese traditional game - Masks

Vietnamese traditional game - Masks
Masks are used by young and old. There have always been many festivals and celebrations in Vietnam. They are a chance to dress up in traditional clothes but also for parades with masks playing an important role. For example, festivals in mid-autumn involve lion masks as part of the lion dance. They are made from papier mache with two small mirrors for eyes. Red cloth is used as a mane. In a lion dance, there are dancers waving tails, clown masks, drums and of course the lion head.
