	TURKISH SHADOW THEATRE


	The world acclaimed Turkish Shadow Theatre is proclaimed on the international forefront for its dynamic protagonist karagoz, also summoned as the Black eye, by the theatre aficionados. Hacivad, his gentle and educated comrade aids in nabbing the rapt attention of the audience by revealing the inherent wit of Karagoz, who lingers behind in terms of education. The play has been flawlessly entertaining the Turkish audience for innumerable years, with zill-i-hayal, the imaginary shadow grabbing prominence and acknowledgement. According to the reliable historical resources, it is believed that this Turkish play was perfomed on stage for the very first time for the Eqyptian ruler, Ottoman Sultan Selim I, celebrating his recent conquest of the Mamelukes.
