Greek Shadow Theatre, also known as Karagiozis, is a traditional form of puppetry that originated in Greece. It features flat, articulated figures made of leather or cardboard, which are illuminated from behind to create shadows on a screen. The performances often depict humorous stories and social commentary, reflecting the lives and struggles of ordinary people. The art form has roots in the Ottoman Empire and has evolved over centuries. Today, it remains a popular cultural expression in Greece, especially during festivals and celebrations. The characters, including the clever and resourceful Karagiozis, are beloved figures in Greek folklore.
