A unique shadow theater made from the figures of Nikos Houliaras’ works brings his novel Lousias to life. Through his paintings, the characters emerge. Lousias is reflected on the screen, doubling and multiplying. In the waters of the lake, the shadows of a distorted reality are reflected.
Cruelty and hypocrisy are revealed through a child — a mirror.
The lost one, the fool of the city, the weak-minded, the scatterbrain.
He remains to remind us of tenderness.
…trapped within the dark outlines of the first man or Karagiozis…
