This Friday evening, the village of Kato Moni will host a unique shadow theatre performance, shining a spotlight on the beloved character Karagiozis. Titled “The Treasure Hunt,” this show offers a fresh twist on the classic shadow theatre experience. While familiar faces like Karagiozis and his co-stars will appear, the performance also brings a modern flair, incorporating the natural beauty and wildlife of Cyprus.
A Play of Harmony and Discovery
Set to start at 8 pm, the performance will depict a world where characters, animals, and nature coexist in perfect harmony. The storyline explores different perspectives on the concept of wealth, emphasizing the values of harmony, solidarity, and the importance of maintaining a clean environment and preserving the natural world.
The Creative Team
The play is brought to life by a talented team: İzel Seylani, who serves as the director, writer, and performer; Vasilis Paphitis, who will perform live; Christos Nikolaou, the translator; Thelma Kasoulidou, the set designer; Savvas Chrysostomou, the musician; and Stavros Stavrou, the songwriter.
An Enchanting Adventure
During the play, Karagiozis follows a map in search of hidden treasure. Instead, he stumbles upon a magical fountain that temporarily allows him to communicate with animals. His adventure takes him to the Rizokarpaso National Park in Cyprus, engaging the audience with interactive songs and delightful moments.
