Indonesian mask bondres (topeng bondres)
Characteristic of the Bondre characters, this mask is said to speak because it reveals the actor’s mouth, an actor whose speech is outside the myth that the play is playing. As an aside or between two acts, the Bondres actor entertains the audience with his good words and mockery.
By distilling criticism and pertinent remarks on the current state of society, he offers different ways of thinking about everyday concerns and brings relief and nuance to the myth that is played out on stage.
Note the attention paid to the carving of the eyes and teeth of this mask when the details of the masks produced for the tourist market are only feigned with a brush stroke.
