Lucia Picaro, member of the My-Ma Scientific Committee representing Belgium, talks about her experience as a mask creator and performer, exploring the living relationship between mask, myth, body and landscape.

Together, these two masks form a contemporary myth: the urgent need to restore balance between culture and nature, human history and ecological consciousness".

The committee's director is Professor Walter Valeri of the Sartori Mask Center (Italy). The new appointments are as follows...
