Nion’s Shadow Puppeteer

Ο Καραγκιοζοπαίχτης της Νιόν

George was born in Athens. When he was 4 years old, he saw a Karagiozi performance. It remains unforgettable for him. When he was 5 years old, his parents, who are bank employees, moved from Greece to Switzerland due to work. When he turned 10 years old, his father made him his first berde, and he started playing the Karagiozis show in Switzerland. He is now 13 years old, lives in Nyon, performs in English and French, and dreams of performing in Crete, in Greek. His life and dreams are between two cultures, between two homelands.
