Actors in Sichuan opera wear specially painted masks on their faces in many different colors. They will suddenly change completely, and all the time, the actor is dancing beautifully with many difficult movements. Some actors can change face ten times in twenty seconds, and yet you never see their fingers touch their face.
Of course, you realize that the actor has many different masks, one on top of the other. They are made from very thin silk in bright colors. If the actor turns his back to you, you think he is changing his mask while you cannot see him doing it. Then he shakes his head suddenly and that mask has changed, like magic, into another one!
