WORKSHOP: HOW TO MAKE TRADITIONAL KARAGIOZIS PUPPETS
By Alexandros Melissinos’ shadow-puppet theatre group
The International Andros Festival and Andros Social Cooperative Enterprise invite you to Alexandros Melissinos’ summer shadow-puppet theatre workshop.
This workshop will be held at the open-air theatre of Andros on Thursday August 12 at 19:30. It will last approximately one and a half hours and it is open to primary school children.
Children should know how to use scissors, thin plastic sheets, sandpaper and colours, and, of course, they should enjoy crafting!
They will make a shadow theatre puppet and will learn how to move it behind the white parapet (mperntes). They will also learn about the history of shadow theatre in Greece and the rest of the world, while, at the end of the workshop, they will take their puppet home!
We will be pleased to see you at the workshop.
