On 27th March, for children and their families came to see a traditional Karagöz Puppet Story told through the ancient art of shadow puppetry. These unique, articulated flat figures are animated by sticks manipulated by ismail ABAYwho can make the figures walk and dance, jump and fight, nod and laugh. The puppet show and traditional tales offered a taste of the language and culture of Turkey, a country with a long, rich history built on multiethnic roots. Brought to you by the Turkish American Society of Chicago, a large portion of this program had been in the Turkish language.
