Humor, tradition, and the fantastical intertwine across cultures in this modern twist on one of the oldest Turkish literary works, Deli Dumrul, brought to life in the style of traditional Turkish shadow theater.Join our hero — rough-and-tumble everyman Karagoz, a classic character from Turkish shadow theater— as he encounters heroes from Hollywood!
Karagoz comes across a bridge that connects good and evil, beauty and ugliness — the bridge between this world and the afterlife!
When Karagoz meets Azrael, the Angel of Death, he must find another soul to take his place in order to save his own life.
As Karagoz tries to solve this substantial problem, he encounters stars from history like William Shakespeare, Charlie Chaplin, and Marlon Brando.
Will Karagoz be able to stay alive?!
Watch as shenanigans ensue, in this unique old-meets-new shadow play.
US Karagoz Theatre Company was founded as the first traditional Turkish theater company in the United States.
Puppet Showplace is thrilled to welcome them to our stage for the very first time!
