Watermelon.

France.

This unusual mask came to us from France and holds a simple theatrical secret: never judge a character by their appearance. From the outside, a watermelon may seem heavy and green, but cut it open, and an entirely different world is revealed — bright, juicy, and full of life. That is why the watermelon became a symbol of the contrast between what we show the world and what we keep hidden inside ourselves. When an actor puts on a mask, their real face disappears, but with it comes the freedom to reveal what is usually kept hidden.
