Abstract

Art is considered an important suggestion for the achievement of life, so it must cultivate the fields of life to remain green and provide guidance for humanity. Art possesses magical power and should be utilized to create good human beings. You must be able to make social progress. Art is the most valuable treasure possessed by every society. In understanding religion, we need a sufficiently educational medium that is close to the community. One of them is through mask performances. There are many forms of mask art, but the one that is relevant and close to the community's life is the bondres mask. The bondres mask has a quite unique way of conveying its message. By incorporating humor, it is possible to engage the community in studying religion. The messages conveyed in the sermons serve as a medium for education, religion, social issues, and entertainment.
