- "Who played this game?"

“We opened our mouths wide; we turned dust into smoke, and sorrow into clouds!"

Combining the magic of projections and lighting with the skillful performances of live actors, creating a grand theatrical spectacle where illusion and reality intertwine. "Shabbaz"It's a bold, fairytale-like, and festive story of friendship, deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of this land, with its unique characters and vivid descriptions.

"The shadow calls, and the story finds its voice in the embrace of light...""Shab is a term that refers to the night. If the beauty lies in the light, then the "shabaz" is the one who showcases the beauty of the shadows."

Respected Bey, a prominent and influential figure in the country, orders a Karagöz shadow puppet show to be performed for the circumcision ceremony of his grandson. The show features the "Dragon and Fish" play, performed by two childhood friends, Turna and Mehmet, who were both trained by the same Karagöz master but have been estranged for years. During the show, Respected Bey, exposed to the dragon's fiery breath, inadvertently reveals dangerous secrets to the audience, causing a major scandal. Whoever is responsible for damaging his reputation will pay the price. Now, both of these tricksters are on a blacklist. The two, facing serious trouble, are unsure what to do or where to turn; the vast city of Istanbul now feels like a prison to them. They find themselves caught in a desperate escape. As they flee, trying to discover who was behind the show that night, they are haunted by their past and their identities, which they cannot escape...

“Are we living in the kind of world we believe in, or are we living in a different kind of world? convinced."Okay?"

The charlatans and the simple folk, the masters and apprentices, the oppressors and the oppressed, the hunchbacks and the crooked, the bathhouses and the rooftops, the cowards and the brave – all of creation, and two tricksters, await the spectacle in the city of seven hills. "Ş""ebbaz" It's an extraordinary, exciting, innovative, and unique experience for all of us.

"We bring the image to the screen, and the rest is light. Light doesn't lie. Now, let's get to the truth; let me tell you a story.""Help! Light, shadow, and curtain!"
