Behind the White Screen

Mario Rinvolucri

3/5 ( ratings)

The memoirs of the great Greek shadow puppeteer and his history of the art of
Karagiosis.

His father was blinded by
a stone falling on him while he was working as a laborer on the
Acropolis.

His mother took in washing. After the accident he led his father out begging
during the days. At night he

sneaked off to the shadow theater which was thought unrespectable. Karagiosis
became his great passion.

He worked first as a puppeteer's assistant and was able to start on his own
when a neighbor gave him a sheet.

This he made into a screen which he slept beside outdoors at night so that it
would not be stolen. He made his

own puppets, scenery, signs, wrote his own plays and performed them with the
help of a singer. Memoirs describes

his beginnings, the 1914-18 war, the coffee houses all over Greece where he
performed and became famous,

World War
II and the German Occupation.
