What is the two faced masks that symbolizes drama and or theatre?
They originated thousands of years ago during the evolution of Greco-Roman theatre productions and represent comedy and tragedy: the two most exaggerated and engaging forms of theatre. Exaggeration was required since there were no microphones and stuff, of course, so body motions and facial expressions were exaggerated so they could be easily seen. Melodrama and loud body language WERE their microphones. Comedy and tragedy were not the only forms of theatre performed, but represent a continuum.
