Description of the major instruments of Believing in Masks
There is a room: sometimes it is white, sometimes black; sometimes it is draped with white fabric if the room is black, sometimes draped with black fabric if the room is white.
It depends.
There are no actors.
There is an armchair against the back wall that recalls Andy Warhol.
There are words. White. Black. Red.
Silence is required.
A certain number of spectators is expected, but there is no seating.
The room contains a certain number of rigid masks.
Each mask belongs to only one person and will be theirs for life.
