Büyülü Ağaç

18. ve 19. yüzyıl oyunlarından yola çıkarak hazırlanmış yepyeni ve dinamik bir oyun. Klasik bir Karagöz oyununda görebileceğimiz her ayrıntıyı bu oyunda da bulabiliyoruz. Özellikle Karagöz oyunlarının Şamanizm etkisi altındaki özelliklerini epik bir yorumla bir araya getiren bu gösteri hareket ağırlıklı olarak planlandı. Yani söz en az seviyede kullanılıyor. Karagöz’ün otantik çalgıları ‘nareke’ ve ‘def’, oyunun örgüsü içinde dramatik gerilimi sağlamak üzere etkin bir biçimde yer aldı. Otantik bir Karagöz oyunu hakkında genel bir fikir edinmek istiyorsak mutlaka bu oyunu izlemeliyiz.

Ayrıca oyunun çevre kirliliğini konu alan iskeleti, günümüz dünya sorunlarına değinmesinden dolayı, seyirci ile kurduğu sessiz iletişimindeki başarı oyunun dünya sahnelerinde sık sık yer almasına olanak sağladı. 10 yıldır repertuarımızda olan ‘Büyülü Ağaç’ bugüne kadar 500’den fazla gösteri yaptı.

Introduction

Traditional Turkish shadow theatre, which is called Karagöz, comes from the Ottoman Empire, which today is Turkey. The art form is generally agreed to exist from early 17th century. Karagöz is also the name of the main character and his best friend is Hacivat. These two characters are together in every play. Because this is traditional Turkish shadow theatre, the language spoken is naturally Turkish. To make it easier to understand the adventure of Karagöz and Hacivat here is a short summary of Magic Tree.

Summary of Magic Tree:

Hacivat appears and calls Karagöz. They have their usual fight. Then Hacivat tells him that he has problems with his irresponsible servant, Mercan, and wishes Karagöz to educate him. After the servant comes, Karagöz tells him that he is too old to be disciplined by another man. Mercan says that they should play a game so that he didn’t come all the way for nothing.

After a short discussion Karagöz agrees. Mercan tells him to lie down and play dead. The servant now asks Karagöz a silly question, “How many kilos did you die?” Every time Karagöz guesses the incorrect number he is brutally beaten. In the end Karagöz pulls himself together and beats the servant back. The servant angrily puts a curse on Karagöz, and a magical and evil tree appears in front of Karagöz’ house. And then… to see what happens next, enjoy the show…
