Actress with a vocational training, and multidisciplinary Artist, Anabel Gransagne explores multiple facets in the Mask Universe, particularly through the medium of theater and also through various world tours and cultures.

He has various functions.By turns He is receptacle for invisible powers, protector, healer, powerfull adornment, festive figure or a simple artistic and esthetic object.He hides men face in order to reveal in the best their deepest nature.....
