Karagiozis and the Minotaur
Continuing the tradition of popular shadow play, launched by his grandfather, the famous Cypriot shadow puppeteer Christodoulos Pafios (1904–1987), Christodoulos Antoniou Pafios presents the play “Karagiozis and the Minotaur”, inspired by the Greek Mythology and more specifically by the Myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.
In the land of Karagiozis, following the orders of the Pasha, Hadjiavatis announces the appearance of a terrible monster for the extermination of which a great reward is offered. Who will manage to win over the mythical Minotaur? This remains to be seen on the screen.
The performance is complemented by an exhibition of paintings by the prominent shadow puppeteer Christodoulos Pafios, which his grandson has collected with much love and dedication from all over Cyprus.
