The Turkish traditional shadow theater “Hacivat & Karagöz” was the play I most enjoyed in my childhood. It has a history going as far back as 16th century. It was still popular before TV but nowadays it is only shown on a few special occasions. I hope it is never forgotten completely.

    I like these characters - am very fond of puppetry, and hope there’s always a place for it.
