Karagiozis, the main character of the Greek shadow puppet theatre, has enchanted audiences for generations. His hunchbacked silhouette and mischievous spirit stands as a symbol of humour, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the working class. He is the quintessential underdog that despite his burden and poverty, he faces the world with humour and wit.
The “Through Black Eyes” anthology brings together ten young and emerging European comic artists that get inspired, explore, reimagine and revisit Karagiozis Shadow Puppet Theatre and create original comic stories. The result is a collection of stories that provide socio-political commentary and human reflection for contemporary life.
“Through Black Eyes” is part of the ECHO Academies project, created and implemented by the Inter Alia civil society organisation.
