| Description: | Tuju Taksu is an innovative dance troupe that uses contemporary Balinese masks to create powerful modern performance theatre. The dances explore the mystery and magic of stories from diverse traditions.
The masks are collaboration between Balinese master mask maker, Ida Bagus Oka, and American choreographer, Maru Matthaei, founder and director of Tuju Taksu. Using traditional Balinese woodcarving techniques they have created many original performance masks which are blessed in a special ceremony to activate their spirits. Evoking the spirit of the mask awakens that essence in performer and audience alike.
Tuju Taksu has been performing in Bali and Northern California since 1995

| Description: | Mask dance-drama offered the common people in traditional society an outlet for the expression of emotions and views that they couldn't express in everyday life. In the debauched monk and haughty aristocrat they satirized the corrupt nature of the traditional power elite. Mask dance-drama was a means of social protest and community building. The mask dance-drama performed today can be divided into several categories. Some genres have been passed on through amateur performers who learned their skills from village elders and performed at local community festivals. Others are carried on by professional entertainers who traveled from village to village, and later from city to city, often with the support of local merchants.
