Karagiozis and the Beasts of Climate Change
17.08 — 18.08.2023
Description
Christos Stanisis’ shadow puppet theatre presents the performance Karagiozis and the Beasts of Climate Change for young and older audiences. The folk idol, the timeless hero next door, Karagiozis, is the most appropriate ambassador to present the catastrophic effects of climate change to the audience. Watching what’s going on around him, all those things that affect the environment, Karagiozis fears for the future and what is yet to come. With these thoughts in mind, enveloped by sleep’s wings, he “experiences” the nightmare of climate change. He fights against the elements of nature, the mutations taking hold in animal populations, and comes face to face with the horrific earthquake (Enceladus). The music parts are performed by a traditional instrument orchestra, while a group of traditional dancers performs during the change of sets or puppets.
