Greek shadow theatre (Karaghiozis) is full of cases around lying. Comic protagonist Karaghiozis usually lies about everything to everyone. However, this essay focuses in versions of two differentiated stories, presenting victories he wins in contests in lying: Pumpkin tree (contest between him and his friend Hatjiavatis) and Lies to Pasha (contest organized by Pasha, aiming at getting him to say “that is a lie”). Researching above stories’ model, not only similar scene at Turkish shadow theatre (Karagöz) is traced but similar plots in folk tale, listed as ATU 1920 and 1960D/G, as well. Exempla of Turkish and Greek (un)published folk tales deriving from Minor Asia, are also presented, shedding light on paths that folk artists may have followed.

"«Inescapability of Fate (or Oedipus)»: Puppet Shadow Theatre (Karaghiozis)’ unknown manuscript by Cypriot performer
Christodoulos (Antoniades) Pafios (1904-1987)"
Christodoulos A. Pafios was one of the greatest Puppet (Shadow) Theatre’s performers in Cyprus. His manuscript «Inescapability of Fate (or Oedipus)» (1979, 13 pages) was recently traced, and is here presented (pictures 2-14), broadening our knowledge’s horizons. The play, known as «Kolleteres (Karaghiozis’ son)’ birth» too, was rather popular in Pafios’ repertoire in the ’50s and Greece’s performers’ in the ’20s. According to the plot, Karaghiozis’ newborn child gets abducted by Pasha’s Officer and offered to him. Pasha, trying to escape his fate, orders the baby’s execution, which is annulled by merciful soldiers who abandon the baby in the forest. A childless shepherd (Barba-Yorgos, Karaghiozis’ uncle) finds and raises the child. After many years, Pasha meets the fatal child and reattempts to assassinate it. Thanks to mysterious interference the boy was not only saved but married Pasha’s daughter as well, fulfilling his destiny.
Despite first thoughts of Sophocles’ Oedipus rex as model, thorough examination of unpublished Greek folk tales (ATU 930), indicates great resemblances, suggesting that Karaghiozis’ performers who launched the play must have -subconsciously ?- adopted and developed structural and functional elements, mirrored in the tale.

"Karaghiozis as nostalgia’ s aspect: Shadow Theatre and Greek Immigrants"
Researching on Greek immigrants’ bibliographically unknown activity connected to Shadow Theatre (Karaghiozis) leeds to some very interesting conclusions.
It proves that a significant number of Greek immigrants at some point connected their nostalgia, amusement, education with Shadow Theatre, mainly by performing but by play/screenwriting as well. Samples of such action (ca. 1970’s and on), were traced in Sweden (Ladopoulos brothers, Y. Greveniotes, Chrysovitsianos, “Your Black Eyes”), Denmark (“Berdes’ friends”), Finland (Il. Missyres), Germany (“Griechischen Schattentheater Aachen”, Chr. Filippides), France (Chr. Kyriazis), Switzerland, U.S.A. (G. Kefalopoulos, N. Dennis, T. Yannoules ?, A. Diakovasiles, F. Antonakos, L. Kassapides, Al. Malaos-Ev. Alexiou), Australia (K. Zouganelles, D. Katsoules, V. Kalamaras. Chr. Kassimides), etch.
In their majority, Greek immigrants’ Karaghiozis performances were embodied within Greek Community’s nest and attracted Greek and philhellenes’ audience. Since performers may be divided into two main categories (students and workers) their special features are presented considering special circumstances: motivation of their immigration and activity, language and texts used, painting ability, experimentation, partnerships, audience, impact, etch. Regardless to their differentiation however it becomes clear that both faced Karaghiozis as a genuine Greece’s reflection and used their performances as a connecting point to homeland.

However, in this essay, we shall shortly present performances of Greek shadow puppet performers, who live abroad and focus on specific political facts.

"Theatre and Shadow Puppet Theatre (Karaghiozis). Survival of traditional theatre comedy of improvisation in Shadow Puppet Theatre: a first approach"
ABSTRACT:
Although Shadow Puppet Theatre’ dramatology seems to embody a variety of models, not all aspects of its relation to Theatre have been thoroughly examined.
Heading to a first mapping, three short theatre comedies, traced in unpublished manuscript collection (1917 and on) of a travelling theatre company (M. Rouggeres’), are presented. Performances of these comedies sometimes date back at the end of 19th century and find shelter in various Greek communities’ cells. As theatre comedies’ reflections, three “unsuitable for minors” comedies of Shadow Puppet Theatre are presented in parallel. Their performances often date back in the 1930s but survive in contemporaneous stage as well.
As a result, connection of travelling actors - shadow puppet performers is enlightened and well documented through presented repertoire’s affinities. Additionally, Shadow Puppet Theatre proves to be a hostile field, where probably due to shadow puppet performers’ survival instinct, multiannual tradition of improvised theatre comedies revives through motifs, plays and tactics.

«Getting acquainted with two “unknown” Karaghiozis performers through their equipment: the artistic “steps” of L. Karadimos and C. Gerakis»
This paper is a presentation of two bibliographically unknown Greek Karaghiozis performers: L. Karadimos (1899-1965) and C. Gerakis (1910-1987).
Although being raised and having performed in different areas -Karadimos mainly in Peloponnese, Gerakis in Amorgos, Cyclades- they both were lured by Shadow Theatre and discovered its secrets with the assistance of the same great Athenian master, A. Mollas. After their apprenticeship, they both returned to their fatherland, got married and gave birth to many children.
The study of their well preserved -unpublished- hand-made equipment and the bibliographical research along with the gathering of oral interviews of their family, formal spectators, assistants and colleagues, prove a number of important points. Between them stand common drawing and voice imitating talent, singing virtues, similar plays and sometimes sketches. On the other side, the variety of Karadimos’ shadow puppets, settings, advertising posters, manufacturing techniques, as well as his touring tactics, are convincing “trails” of a professional performer.
Factors as education, geographical distance causing lack of artistic “trades”, different chronological period of artistic action connecting to the quality of other popular spectacles, fertile inspiration and cultivation of fruitful competition, facing performances as main source of income, seem to define one ’s development. The two performers offer an example of passionate people coming from similar departure point, who under different social circumstances came to dissimilar terminals.

Depicting the television career (part B΄ 1978-early 1990s) of shadow puppet performer E. Spatharis’, repertoire, partners, interviews, staging and editing tactics are presented. It becomes obvious, that via Educational Public Television, together with a promising team, Spatharis became a link of Folk and Art Theatre, experimenting with different forms, in order to attract and educate wider audience. Taking technological achievements and renovating ideas into consideration, although risking his reputation, he attempted to refresh the traditional spectacle, that he first met as a child, behind his father’s white screen.

Attempting to explore the development of Greek Shadow Theatre («Karaghiozis») from spectacle for adults to spectacle for children, we shall focus on its presence in Television, underlining the vital contribution of Technology. In specific, we shall pursue the televisual course of Evg. Spatharis, who first performed in state Television (1966-1992), meeting a huge success. The first part of our research, here presented, focuses on the first time range of Spatharis’ televisual activity (1966-1977), exhibiting and evaluating research results in Press, public and individual Archives.

"Poverty and Orphanhood: unpublished manuscript of play written by the shadow puppeteer A.P.Kokonas "
According to his interviews and memoirs the Cypriot shadow puppeteer (Karaghiozis performer) A. P. Kokonas (1920-1983) wrote several plays on his own. Although there is information on his offering his plays (manuscripts or sound records) to state institutions or employees, not a single one was published or was accessible so far.
Researching on Kokonas' family Archive, a manuscript (1965) of "Poverty and Orphanhood" (1946) was discovered. It is here presented along with a short analysis of characters, plot and relative fragments of Kokonas' professional diaries, revealing places of stage and number of tickets.
This essay aims to contribute to the so limited corpus of Greek Shadow Theatre' s texts. In addition it may enlighten the tendency of postwar performing activity towards social drama / melodrama, widespread in Shadow Theatre field, as well.

Shadow Theatre (“Karaghiozis”) in Cyprus is a quite intriguing field for researchers, due to its geographical position and its particular political-social situation. Questions as “dialogue” between Greek-Cypriots or Turkish-Cypriots and Greeks, Turks and even Arabs shadow puppets performers, seek for answers.
This essay is focused on the connection between three Greek-Cypriots neighboring (Nicosia ’s district) performers, mirrored in their archives: A. Kokonas (from Tembria), Th. Themistokleous (from Kakopetria), G. Idalias (from Nikosia, Korakou).
It is acknowledged that each’ s development was mainly determined by factors as social-family environment, educational level, family status, financial security, friendship or collaboration with other performers/designers, individual talent and style.
In addition to that, it is shown what kind of models were followed, how these three performers depended on each other and up to what level did they intercourse.

«The presence of Greek shadow puppeteers Sotiris and Evgenios Spatharis in Cyprus: testimonies of N. Ioannou’ s Archive at the Folk Art Museum of Cyprus (F.A.M.C.)»
Abstract: The famous Greek shadow puppeteers Sot. And Evg. Spatharis paid their first visit in Cyprus in September of 1953.
Although their performances had a great success, the dramatic earthquake of Pafos caused their early departure. However, they managed to meet, lure, challenge and influence several Cypriot shadow puppeteers.
The present essay focuses on this specific artistic “dialogue”, following tracks located in bibliography, past Press, Archives of shadow puppets and related equipment. After researching on the archives of F.A.M.C., Spatharis’ family and Cypriot shadow puppeteers’, it becomes clear that a part of the Spatharis’ equipment used in 1953, finds shelter at the F.A.M.C., through N. Ioannou’ s (shadow puppeteer, magician, folk painter) collection, which was bought in 1979.
More than ten objects, mostly misplaced, seem to derive from Spatharis’ artistic hand, whilst certain drawings, jokes, scenography, artistic tactics, still revive nowadays in Cypriot Shadow Puppet Theatre.
This study aims in highlighting not only aspects of great artistic personalities as Spatharis, whose memory is dedicated, but also the fluidity of the art of Shadow Theatre and family ties between Shadow Theatre of Greece and Cyprus.

"THE «HERETIC» SHADOW PERFORMER PAVLOS MARMARAS THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND HIS EQUIPMENT, SHELTERED IN STATE AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS"
The contribution of Ionian Islands, although seems to be an important chapter of the History of Greek Puppet & Shadow Theatre («Karaghiozis») due to its geographical spot, has not yet been studied. Greek and Italian performers came from or toured the Ionian Islands, whilst typical Karagiozis puppets represent Ionian islanders. Between performers, the karaghiozis player P. Marmaras, who was borned (1922) in Zante and performed mainly in Athens and Peloponnese.
Having watched elder performers like Agiomavritis, K. Manos, Koutsouris, Kouzaros, etch. and ignoring his family disapproval, he started performing on his own nearly after the 2nd World War. In the ’70s he built a Karaghiozis theatre in Athens, among popular cinemas. During the ’80s, only a few years before his death, it was pulled down.
His plays varied from traditional comedies to typical dramas inspired by the Greek Revolution or the German Occupation. He also enjoyed performing and recording his own plays, depicting social problems of his time and embodying in them several autobiographical elements. The influence of cinema in his technique and themes, as well as that of popular literature, is quite clear. In order to construct his equipment (shadow puppets, settings, advertising posters or fly-sheets) he cooperated with several colleagues of his.
Today his archive (manuscripts, shadow puppets, settings, advertising means, tapes, sound equipment, photographs) finds shelter in museums, institutions, antique shops and private collections. His passion and effort in combining modern technology with tradition is well mirrored in it.

“CHRYSO, THE ORPHAN” BY A. IDALIAS – T. CHATZITTOFIS: A DRAMATIC PLAY (1948) OF CYPRIOTIC SHADOW THEATRE (KARAGKIOZIS)
Shadow Theatre in Cyprus, as well as the rest Greek Shadow Theatre, mainly consists of comedies, social plays, plays inspired by the Greek Revolution (1821), the German Occupation (1940) or even Mythology, theatre plays, novels and every-day events. However, the coexistence of Greekcypriots and Turkishcypriots seems to have been responsible for a preference to dramatic, social or pastoral plays, which would contribute to a peaceful coexistence.
In this study, such a prototype play under the title “Chryso the orphan” is being presented according to versions of two Greekcypriot Karagkiozis performers. T. Chatzittofis (1927-), who created and performed the play along with A. Idalias (1917-1996) in 1948, and G. Idalias (1939-), the son of the joint author and Karaghiozis player as well, who has attended some of the successful performances.
According to the story, poor Chryso, the protagonist, has an affair with Tasos, the son of a rich landowner. When informed, Karaghiozis, the uncle of Chryso, presses the young lovers to marry. On the contrary, Tasos’ mother objects to their marriage due to their social-financial distance. The play closes with the dramatic loss of the two lovers and the madness of Tasos’ mother.
The influence of plays deriving from Greece, like “Gkolfo” is quite visible. In addition, motives quite common in melodramatic cinema movies, theatre plays and popular literature of that time, seem to have been embodied as well.
Despite differences of the two versions and probable weaknesses of the play, the literature “loans” and the method of embodying such popular motives and stories into a Karagkiozis performance become clear.

In this paper we are interested in the relationship between Karagkiozis - theatre - puppet theatre - folk tale. Trying to trace and follow a -today- invisible thread, we focus on the unregistered connection between popular Karagkiozis play "The three secretaries/suitors/lovers/grooms", Boccaccio's phycisian Simone of 'Decameron', folk tale ("The three suitors in the cemetary ATU 940"), puppet theatre's scenarios (e.g. "The three grooms/opponent lovers" etch.), a play by A. Nicolaras ("The three grooms and one bride") and the anonymous publication (Smyrna 1870) of the play ''The good groom".

Η παρουσίαση των προτύπων (;) θα αναδείξει τον αναζητούμενο βαθμό συγγένειας αποκαλύπτοντας τόσο κάποιες δημοφιλείς στρατηγικές των μαστόρων της τέχνης του Καραγκιόζη όσο και τον πολυδιάστατο χαρακτήρα του. Παράλληλα θ’ αναζητηθούν τα κίνητρα ενσωμάτωσης των συγκεκριμένων έργων -με αναφορές στην Κωνσταντινούπολη- στον ελληνικό μπερντέ, ιχνηλατώντας τη σχέση του λαβωμένου προσφυγικού ελληνισμού με αυτόν και τον πρωταγωνιστή του.

Το Θέατρο Σκιών βρίσκεται σε ανοιχτό διάλογο με τις παρασταστικές και εικαστικές τέχνες, συνιστώντας ένα κατ’ εξοχήν δημιουργικό Θέατρο Ετερότητας. Δανείζοντας και δανειζόμενο αδιάκοπα, οπτικά και λεκτικά στοιχεία, αλλά φέροντας -στην ελληνική εκδοχή του- κι ένα πλήθος αραβικών και οθωμανικών αποτυπωμάτων, συγκεντρώνει και αντικατοπτρίζει πολλαπλές όψεις της θεατρικής ετερότητας. Όχι μόνον οι διαφορετικές τέχνες που αξιοποιούνται στο λευκό φόντο των σκιών, αλλά και οι ίδιοι οι ήρωες του, ως φορείς περιεχομένου, προερχόμενοι από διαφορετικές κοινότητες, τάξεις, εθνότητες, θρησκείες, αποτελούν απτά δείγματα ενσωμάτωσης του “άλλου”.

Ειδικότερα, θα εξετασθεί η επιβίωση στο Ελληνικό Θέατρο Σκιών (Καραγκιόζης), στοιχείων του παραμυθιακού τύπου ΑΤ 1920 (“Contest in lying”) και παραλλαγών του.

«Outlining D. Maridakes, a multifaceted artist from Syros»
D. Maridakes, is included in Greek (Glove) Puppet Theatre («Fasoules»)’s pioneers. At the dawn of his career he was an actor and for many years an illusionist, as well. He was artistically active during the last quarter of 19th and first years of 20th century. He is considered to be successor of the first Greek puppeteer (Andreas Pogkes from Zakynthos) and master of the most well known, Chrestos Konitisiotes. Despite this acknowledgement though, no specific elements on his biography or author’s work have come to light, so far.
By this essay we aim -based on archival research- at providing answers to puzzling issues of research, such as his origin place, his birth place and date, the name (Demetios, Demos, Demosthenes ?) of the artist, hidden under the initiative letter «D.», his civil status, etch.
Mostly though, we aim at introducing part of his missing writing production and extra elements on his artistic tours around Greece and Cyprus. Adding missing pieces in his artistic portrait, we wish to contribute to theatre history and to his welcoming in Cycladic cultural circles.

"Theatre and Shadow Puppet Theatre (Karaghiozis). Survival of traditional theatre comedy of improvisation in Shadow Puppet Theatre: a first approach"
ABSTRACT:
Although Shadow Puppet Theatre’ dramatology seems to embody a variety of models, not all aspects of its relation to Theatre have been thoroughly examined.
Heading to a first mapping, three short theatre comedies, traced in unpublished manuscript collection (1917 and on) of a travelling theatre company (M. Rouggeres’), are presented. Performances of these comedies sometimes date back at the end of 19th century and find shelter in various Greek communities’ cells. As theatre comedies’ reflections, three “unsuitable for minors” comedies of Shadow Puppet Theatre are presented in parallel. Their performances often date back in the 1930s but survive in contemporaneous stage as well.
As a result, connection of travelling actors - shadow puppet performers is enlightened and well documented through presented repertoire’s affinities. Additionally, Shadow Puppet Theatre proves to be a hostile field, where probably due to shadow puppet performers’ survival instinct, multiannual tradition of improvised theatre comedies revives through motifs, plays and tactics.

Σε αυτούς συγκαταλέχθηκε και ο εκ Χλώρακος, Χριστόδουλος Αντωνιάδης (Πάφιος) (1904-1987). Ενδεικτικό της εκτίμησης που έτρεφε ο Γ. Κατσούρης εν γένει για το Θέατρο Σκιών και ειδικότερα για τον καλλιτέχνη Πάφιο, ήταν η διακόσμηση κεντρικού χώρου της οικίας του με φωτιζόμενη σκηνή (μπερντέ) με φιγούρες του.
Ως όψιμη απάντηση στις συζητήσεις μας για την αβέβαιη τύχη χειρογράφων με σενάρια του δραματολογίου του Πάφιου, θα παρουσιασθεί για πρώτη φορά σχετικό χειρόγραφο του καραγκιοζοπαίκτη. Παρά τη διαδεδομένη πεποίθηση πως χειρόγραφα με σενάρια παραστάσεων του Πάφιου δεν διασώθηκαν, το εν λόγω χειρόγραφο εντοπίσθηκε σε ιδιωτική συλλογή. Το χειρόγραφο αυτό αποτελεί σημαντικό συμπλήρωμα του καλλιτεχνικού πορτραίτου του Πάφιου, του οποίου έχουν έως τώρα δημοσιευθεί Απομνημονεύματα και επαγγελματικά Ημερολόγια. Χάρη στο διασωθέν χειρόγραφο επιβεβαιώνεται η ευεργετική -για εμάς- συνήθεια του καλλιτέχνη να καταγράφει έργα του σε σχολικά τετράδια, υπογράφοντάς τα, γεννώντας έτσι προσδοκίες να βρεθούν επιπλέον τετράδια του Αρχείου του.
Στο συγκεκριμένο τετράδιο καταγράφεται σπάνιο έργο του Ελληνικού Θεάτρου Σκιών, με ενδιαφέροντα πιθανά πρότυπα το αρχαίο Δράμα και το Παραμύθι. Η έρευνα σε δημόσια και ιδιωτικά αρχεία Ελλάδας και Κύπρου, έφερε στο φως στοιχεία για παραστάσεις του ίδιου έργου από καραγκιοζοπαίκτες της Ελλάδας, το οποίο ωστόσο δεν φαίνεται να συμπεριλήφθηκε στο δραματολόγιο έτερων Κυπρίων καραγκιοζοπαικτών

"Tracing political Shadow Puppet Theatre (Karaghiozis),
performed in Cyprus and by Greek Immigrants"
Greek Shadow Puppet Theatre (Karaghiozis) could be seen as widely Political Theatre, not only due to its scenery (Karaghiozis’ wrecked house opposite Pasha ’s palace) but to its themes, as well. However, in this essay, we shall shortly present performances of Greek shadow puppet performers, who live abroad and focus on specific political facts. We shall introduce bibliographically unknown -in most cases- performances by Greek immigrants and Greeks of Cyprus, attempting to highlight their political beliefs, motives, means and impact.

“Be-Witched shadows: approaching Greek Shadow Theatre’s Witches, inspired by Fairy tales”
It is widely accepted that Fairy Tales is a basic theme source of Modern Greek (glove & string) Puppet Theatre. However, the relation between Fairy Tales and Greek Shadow (Puppet) Theatre (Karaghiozis) has not yet been thoroughly examined, mostly due to lack of authentic Shadow Theatre’s texts.
As researching, it becomes clear that Greek Shadow Theatre has not only drawn inspiration from History, Theatre, Traditional Puppet Theatre (Fasoulis), Popular Literature, Everyday events, but from Children’s Literature, as well. Such influences can be recognized in thematic field (e.g. “Genovefa”), but in choosing heroes, as well. A closer look reveals that witches tend to be the most popular heroines, transferred from Children Books’ pages to Shadow Theatre screens.
Based on bibliography, oral testimonies and (un)published plays lying in state and private collections, we shall present a registration of shadow theatre plays with casts, enriched by witches. Key questions like “when”, “how”, “why”, “how often”, shall be submitted for reply, broadening the horizons of future research.
