Description
Karagöz and Hacivat is a shadow play based on imitation and mutual conversation, performed on a screen with two-dimensional figures. The Karagöz performer is called a hayali. His assistants are the apprentice, yardak, dayrezen, and sandıkkar. In the play, changes in dialogue are made with head movements.
It is not definitively known whether these two characters truly lived, or if they did, where and how they lived. The narratives are based on legend, for even if they truly lived, they were most likely not considered important enough to enter history books during the period mentioned.
Karagöz (lit. 'Blackeye' in Turkish) and Hacivat (shortened in time from "Hacı İvaz" meaning "İvaz the Pilgrim", and also sometimes written as Hacivad) are the lead characters of the traditional Turkish shadow play, popularized during the Ottoman period and then spread to most nation states of the Ottoman Empire. It is most prominent in Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Adjara (autonomous republic of Georgia). In Greece, Karagöz is known by his local name Karagiozis; in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he is known by his local name Karađoz.
