Don't Let Your Lantern Break! A Karagöz & Hacivat Shadow Puppet Adventure from Turkey In-Person
A 700-year-old shadow puppet tradition from Türkiye comes to life! Join the humorous Karagöz, the clever Hacivat, and the tiny, spirited Beberuhi in a lively, interactive performance where adults often find themselves laughing just as much as the kids. Traditionally performed during Ramadan evenings, the show carries a meaningful message — as Beberuhi reminds children to protect the light they carry within and never let anyone “break their lantern.” Performed by puppeteer Mucahide Akarvardar.
