Comedy and Tragedy Masks - Symbol of Classical Theatre and Drama #3092352 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast black-and-white image features the traditional Greek theatrical masks: the smiling mask of comedy (Thalia) and the frowning mask of tragedy (Melpomene). Their stylized, exaggerated expressions emphasize emotional duality in performance art, rooted in ancient Dionysian festivals. The overlapping composition suggests the interplay between joy and sorrow in narrative storytelling.
