Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre
I am very interested in Wooden men's line (木人行). It is a museum that shows masks, shadow puppet, puppetry and creative works of art. A local artist Hoi Chiu operates it. This Hoi Chiu Art Gallery is divided into production studio and exhibition for sale of art products. This is a good chance for the public to have a better understanding of puppetry and puppet art production process. It also lets people to know that they have the right to enjoy the arts and it should be an integral part of their daily lives
The masks are used in the masked performance which will express the unique artist power to the audiences. Each mask has its own facial expression and characteristics, which can speak for itself. However the actor, who wears the mask, is difficult to act the character of the mask vividly and dramatically. What he could do is to seek the director’s directive so as to express the distinct aura of the mask in the performance.
