Ramadan Evening Karagöz Shadow Puppet Show
Location: Fabrikafa Make&Coffee
Event Seating Arrangement: Unnumbered Seating
After Iftar, you can watch a live Karagöz shadow puppet show. A classic "Swing Game" performed by a master puppeteer, it's a fitting entertainment for Ramadan evenings.
The story is familiar: Hacivat convinces Karagöz to build a swing to earn money. The plan is simple, but things inevitably go awry. With the colorful characters entering the stage, misunderstandings and squabbles follow one another. It's the familiar Karagöz-Hacivat rivalry: one the voice of the people, speaking his mind; the other, who fancies himself an intellectual, plotting. Their clash continues until the very end, and the show concludes with bursts of laughter.
Perhaps one of the things that best suits the spirit of Ramadan is this: coming together, laughing, and spending time together. Karagöz has been doing exactly that for hundreds of years. It used to be an indispensable part of Ramadan nights, and now we are keeping that tradition alive together.
Fun for children, nostalgic for adults. Come, let's laugh together.
