Mask Changing Act Singapore
Mask changing, or Bian Lian, was originally part of Sichuan opera—one of China’s oldest local operas popular in the Sichuan province. Over time, it has evolved into a popular traditional Chinese art form. This elusive performing art requires skills mastered by only a few. Audiences have long been captivated by the performer’s ability to change their mask with the flick of an arm and a twist of the head.
Rex traveled to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, China, to learn the incredible art of mask changing. After mastering these skills, he has developed a renowned and beloved performance that has amazed corporate, public, and private audiences. Rex offers three different styles of mask-changing shows, all featuring elaborately painted and vibrantly colored masks: traditional, new style, and combined with costume changing. His new style mask-changing show merges the traditional art form with popular hit songs to engage and inspire a wider audience. His mask and costume change act is the first of its kind in Singapore and was featured on Mediacorp Channel 8’s live variety show ‘The Sheng Siong Show’.
Filled with drama, theatrics, and suspense, his shows will delight audiences of all nationalities and ages.
