| 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
