Karagöz’s tales about Mickiewicz is an art project combining theatre plays and a workshop, which promotes Adam Mickiewicz’s works as well as the museum dedicated to him. For 5 consecutive days at various cafeterias and teahouses in the Tarlabaşı district, where the museum is also located, Teatr Ka will present shadow puppet theatre based on a Turkish ballad by Adam Mickiewicz titled Renegade. The project aims to reach out to an audience of all ages, and will result in a workshop specifically for children.
Karagöz’s tales about Mickiewicz is a project of Teatr Ka. The collective has been performing shadow puppetry in Poland since 2012. Founded by Umut Nebioğlu, a contemporary Turkish artist and director of a traditional Turkish shadow theatre, Teatr Ka group also includes orientalist scholar Albert Kwiatkowski and drama educator Monika Wyrzykowska.
