Shadow Theater: tradition vs innovation


The Erasmus students of the Literature Club and Math-e Physics Club organized a cross-thematic action on the Shadow Theater. Taking advantage of the talent of a pupil as a modern "karagiozis player" (the hero of the traditional greek shadow theater), we got to know this particular art both through the theoretical presentation and through the "performance" set up in the classroom. He used hand made figures and traditional acting technique, while presenting the history of this worldwide famous folk art (from China to Greece).
Since the Shadow Theater includes elements of Literature (theatrical texts, student improvisations of theatrical writing), Mathematics (construction of figures and scenery, proportions of shapes) and Physics (light-shadow, motion) is offered for the innovative cross-thematic approach we have successfully implemented, according to Goal 4: Quality education.
