Description

This performance is a traditional comedy of Greek shadow theatre. The performance will be in Greek. But children and adults will still enjoy it even if they don't understand the language.

Karagiozis gets employed as a servant at a rich man’s house in order to welcome his guests who come to meet his young and beautiful daughter, as she is going to choose to marry one of them. As usual, Karagiozis overturns everything…

Thodoris Kostidakis is a shadow-theatre performer, a drama workshops facilitator, with university studies on architecture and holds an MA on theories of space and design. He learned the art of shadow theatre from his father, Takis Kostidakis – including performing and figure making.

In 2012, he started the project “ΚαραγκιόΖΕΙΣ παντού!” with ‘Arts and Moods Workshop’, in which he collaborates with several artists and artistic teams, in order to suggest events and performances based on the art of shadow theatre

‘Karagiozis’ performances take place in art exhibitions, creative workshops, educational courses, music and/or theatrical performances, storytelling (Οκλαδόν) etc in festivals and events at public spaces, schools, museums etc.
