performing arts 🎭 - OzVoca Emoji Details
performing arts
This is an emoji of two masks symbolizing theater or the performing arts. One has a smiling face, and the other has a sad expression.
This emoji can mean performances like plays and movies, and it's also sometimes used to express various emotions like joy and sorrow, or to hide one's true feelings.
As a symbol originating from the 'comedy' and 'tragedy' of ancient Greek theater, it represents the duality of human emotions. That's why it's often used metaphorically when one's outward appearance differs from their inner self.
In modern society, it's also used to represent people with diverse identities. It symbolizes a persona that shows different sides depending on the situation, like an online 'sub-character' (buka), and interestingly portrays the complex inner world of modern people.
