Behind the Masked Dancer, Hanuman

There’s an air of mystery behind every masked dancer. While the performance itself should be the focal point, you sometimes just can’t help but to also wonder who is underneath that mask. Is the performer young? Old? Male? Female? Attractive? All of the above?

When it comes to Hanuman, what comes to your imagination? And more specifically, what’s your imagination of Hanuman, underneath the mask?

Was your imagination close to this photo in any way?

This Thai traditional dance which featured Hanuman was performed at the Ayutthaya World Heritage Fair.

If you’re wondering if I have more photos, I do and I intend on sharing them in future blog posts. Stay tuned!
