Faustwork Mask Theatre
Faustwork Mask Theater was founded by Robert Faust
in 1983 and has been creating exquisite masks and compelling
performances, and inspiring audiences of all ages at performing arts centers,
corporate events, schools and
festivals throughout North America. Faustwork has traveled to 48 states in the
US, throughout Canada, Australia,
Hong Kong, Italy and Germany.
Robert Faust, founder and artistic director of Faustwork Mask Theater has
created The Mask Messenger, Cello Man and
Voice of the Wood (with Eugene Friesen) and Carnival Knowledge (with Paola
Styron). Mr. Faust designs and creates
all masks used in Faustwork performances.
The Mask Messenger is an engaging mix of
monologue, physical comedy, and theatre, a tour de force solo performance
that explores the artistic, cultural, and psychological use of masks throughout
history.
In vignettes ranging from comic to poignant to bizarre, this performance expands
the idea of masks to include body
language, makeup, jewelry, and the many faces we all wear daily. There 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.
