This mysterious creation depicts a unique dance culture of Sri Lanka. It's not just a charade or interval designed to entertain, it's a carefully crafted ritual. The devil dance is performed to exorcise evil spirits and diseases as well as for seeking blessing from good spirits. Dancers wear masks depicting many characters. The pop of color from the bright red in the background makes a powerful impact to catch the viewer's eye and livens up one's mood as well as any room. The art is not the elite benefit the art exits for anyone who is open minded enough to swallow it up.
