Those in folklore studies should be familiar with masks and masking cultures.

Also, those in cultural semiotics should like that kind of signification whereby humans cover their faces and claim that they have beccome something else and therefore have enormous powers. But it is not only in folklore and culture that this features. Indeed in every situation in which identity has become doubtful or problematic. Now, for instance, that COVID-19 has forced many to wear “protective” masks,

the masked dancers have increased in number. The masked dancers are not only those humans who cover their faces, claiming they have become something else, but also many COVID-19 masked dancers who are dancing their lives on the global village square, hoping that their expiry dates would not be reduced by Coronavirus.

So, you know that masked dancing is an interesting cultural thing, the goal of your mask dancing another thing. The covering of your mouth and nose, which must have been uttering shitty things, is well in order. After all, masking is about shielding something from something.
