World Stars Show

Are you ready to meet world stars on the shadow theatre stage? Elvis Presley, Luciano Pavarotti, Charlie Chaplin, Carlos Santana, Louis Armstrong, and many more, with unique performances from the traditional Turkish theatre, Karagöz.

Karagöz is the art of traditional Turkish puppetry. It is now considered a heritage in the art of shadow theatre, and through these shows we can get a broad glimpse of the tradition that is being celebrated, but also with a modern and updated vision.

“World Stars Show” won the award for “Best Show for Research and Interaction between Tradition and Modernity” at the Banja Luka 22nd International Festival of Children's Theatres.
