A CENTURY OF KARAGIOZIS: FROM STREETS AND SQUARES TO MUSEUM
The Museum of Modern Greek Culture and the Panhellenic Shadow Theatre Association present the exhibition “100 YEARS OF KARAGIOZIS. FROM THE SHEEPFOLDS TO THE MUSEUM,” which opens on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the Museum’s Temporary Exhibition Building (9 Klados Street, Athens).
The exhibition deals with Greek shadow theater, its historical journey and presence in Greece from its beginnings in the 19th century to the 21st century, in a dialectic with the course and work of the Association, which is celebrating a century of life.
Selected items from the collection of the Museum of Modern Greek Culture interact with items from the collection of the Panhellenic Shadow Theatre Association, as well as from private collections, and, in combination with visual and digital material, demonstrate the richness and evolution of the performing art of Karagiozis, the breadth of the artistic creation of Karagiozis players, the visual value of the tools used in the performance, and its socio-cultural impact in general.
