Karagoz Shadow Puppet Show Under Oklahoma Circus Tent
by Sally Rivera
Warm amber light from string lamps hangs across the canvas ceiling of a circus tent in Oklahoma City, illuminating a white screen where Turkish Karagoz shadow puppets perform. Dark, stylized silhouettes of Karagoz and Hacivat stand against the bright fabric, their cut-leather shapes frozen in theatrical dialogue. Beyond the tent edges, the city skyline begins to glow with electric streetlights under dramatic dry-season clouds. Blurred foreground lights form soft circles at the frame's edge, framing the ancient art within this American venue. Sharp shadows define the puppets' details on the screen. A final wire holding the top light sags slightly against the dark sky.
