Karagiozis, apart from being a true school for modern Greeks with his performances for the past 170 years, was the main form of entertainment in the most beautiful and proper sense of the term. It was a family theater for both young and old. It moved and captivated. The Greek people loved the Shadow Theater because it was a theater that emerged from their soul, from their sorrows and passions. That is why it will never die, because it is an irreplaceable cultural asset of this land.
It is a theater that combines many arts together. It is particularly suitable for stimulating children's creativity and imagination. Each child can feel like a painter, director, set designer, costume designer, mime, actor, singer. Even a promoter of their own performance. One or more children engaging with Karagiozis develop the above skills to a great extent.
That is why we have this appendix of our book with the figures of the Shadow Theater, the design to construct a simple, small stage, and of course, photos from performances where the puppeteer seems to be working behind the screen. Observe them. This way, both young and old can create your own performance at home, in your yard, on your balcony.
