Karagoz Everywhere Team is on the road. 23 Nisan Ulusal Egemenlik ve Cocuk Bayramini Washington DC’de cocuklara gosteriler yaparak kutladik. Hepimize kutlu olsun.
Collaborating with Yunus Emre Enstitüsü-Washington D.C., Turkish Language Program presents the traditional Turkish shadow theatre -- Karagoz & Hacivat.
Karagöz Everywhere is at the University of Connecticut today. Doing a presentation and a Show! Thanks to Prof. Bart Roccoberton for inviting us. It was an amazing experience to share Karagoz with Bart's students and America's future puppeteers!
Our special thanks go to Karagoz Everywhere, Ibrahim Yazici & Dr. Aysen Darcan, sponsored by Turkish + American Arts Society of New York! We'd also love to thank Professor Bart (Director of the Puppet Arts Program) for bringing Turkish shadow theatre to UConn!
Collaborating with the Yunus Emre Institute, our Karagoz team had two shows at Washington D.C. Public Schools. The first show was at Wheatley Education Campus, and the second at HD Cooke Elementary School. Over 200 children attended, and met Karagoz and his friends for the first time.
A group of Karagöz Shadow Theater lovers started "Karagöz Everywhere" project in 2016 with the idea of exposing the 700 year friendship of Karagöz and Hacivat to audiences around the world. With this mission in mind, we have been collaborating with artists and cultural institutions who have been touched by and enchanted with the Karagöz characters.
