This energetic piece is based on the traditional Karagöz plays of the 18th and 19th century. You will find every little detail belonging to a classical Karagöz play. Magic Tree, which is primarily based on visual actions, is a modern interpretation of the shamanic characteristics of Karagöz plays. Although the language is in Turkish, the story can be enjoyed by the visual actions, as much of the story revolves around slapstick humour. The authentic instruments of Karagöz, nareke and def, are used in the play to underline the dramatic tension of the story. To have a general opinion about an authentic Karagöz play, this is the piece you must watch. Enjoy the rhythmic language and high tempo by Cengiz Özek who brings life to all the characters, animals and spirits!
