A traditional Turkish puppet theatre, nearly 700 years old, takes the stage combining traditional and modern styles. Karagöz and Hacivat are the two main characters. The story is as follows:
Karagöz is unemployed, as always, and Hacivat finds him a job. Karagöz takes orders in a pizzeria. The orders are made in different languages and the customers have various special requests. Karagöz gets all the orders wrong and things become a mess. How can order and harmony be restored?
This is a performance about coexistence which uses pizza as the metaphor.
