25th International Istanbul Puppet Festival

25th International Istanbul Puppet Festival

The International Istanbul Puppet Festival, which has been held since 1998, meets the audience for the 25th time this year.

The festival, under the artistic directorship of Cengiz Özek, has taken important steps towards the mission of popularizing puppet art in Turkey, as well as transferring our traditional stage art, Karagöz, which UNESCO declared as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, to future generations. Perhaps the most important of these steps was the Istanbul Karagöz Puppet Foundation (IKKV), which was also founded by Cengiz Özek. In addition to many activities, IKKV also became the most important sponsor of the International Istanbul Puppet Festival, which we organized for the 25th time this year.

This year, the festival, which will appeal to both adults and children with 10 shows from Czechia, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Mexico, Portugal, Uzbekistan and Slovenia, also includes 8 plays from Turkey.

We share the pride of the 25th year with you and we welcome you all to the halls.
