“While learning about the character and tradition in Athens, I was also fascinated by the dependence on violence as the central method of resolving conflicts, so much so that the puppet of Karagiozis is designed with an elongated arm to allow the puppeteer more ease in slapping other puppets. Initially I perceived this as comical, but there was something dark about this centrality of violence, for which the elongated arm stood as a symbol.”
