Through Black Eyes
Comic in English
Karagiozis, the main character of the Greek
shadow puppet theatre, has enchanted audiences for generations. His
hunchbacked silhouette and mischievous spirit stands as a symbol of
humour, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the working class. He is
the quintessential underdog that despite his burden and poverty, he
faces the world with humour and wit.
The “Through Black Eyes” anthology brings together ten young and
emerging European comic artists that get inspired, explore, reimagine
and revisit Karagiozis Shadow Puppet Theatre and create original comic
stories. The result is a collection of stories that provide
socio-political commentary and human reflection for contemporary life.
"Through Black Eyes” is part of the ECHO Academies project, created and
implemented by the Inter Alia civil society organisation.
