| description | In the 1853 travel account Constantinople, Théophile Gautier describes the parodic and popular Turkish Karagiozis theatre. Made up of flat 2D puppets played behind a curtain, this type of show is performed during the festive period of Ramadan. The stories present the characters and traditions of the population in a burlesque and subversive style. By contrasting the licentious figure of Karagiozis with established norms, Gautier shows that his experience as a traveller can be imaginatively shared even with readers who have remained in France. |
