Also known as: theatre, drama, acting, performance, masks, comedy and tragedy
The Performing Arts (🎭) emoji shows the classic comedy and tragedy masks. It represents theatre, drama, acting, and storytelling. But in everyday communication, it has a more pointed meaning: being dramatic or two-faced. The duality of the two masks speaks to performing different emotions for different audiences — authenticity versus acting.
