Young monks wearing ancient wooden masks during the dance festival at Key Monastery. Photographer: Sutherland, Patrick
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Portrait of two monks wearing masks, with monastery buildings in the background: 'Young monks wearing ancient wooden masks during the dance festival at Key Monastery. These Bakhtuk act as jokers during the performances, teasing the older monks by mimicking them and generally entertaining the audience by punctuating the long solemn dances with touches of humour. They also police the crowd, threatening to beat locals and tourists alike if they get too close to the performers' (Patrick Sutherland).
