With 700-year history, Turkish shadow theatre is one of the wolrd’s oldest shadow play tradition brought to the stage through Ayhan Hulagu’s original solo performance.

Recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Karagöz is reimagined here through The Forest of the Witch, blending tradition with contemporary storytelling. This performance brings the past and present together in a surprising and playful way—traditional, modern, unexpected, and delightfully entertaining.
