Sap´a – Echo

Colour photograph of Echo mask with mouthpiece removed, shot against a black background

The Echo Mask contains interchangeable mouthpieces representing different characters. The dancer covers his face and then reveals the character of the mouthpiece. As the mouthpiece is revealed, the dancer is transformed from one being into another. He moves in a manner suggesting the characteristics of the mouthpiece that is being used. The three mouthpieces with this Echo mask are the raven, eagle and bear.
