Ortauyuno is a genre of theater developed in Turkey and
disseminated throughout Europe, especially Spain. These performances rely a
text and were usually open-air events. However, these performances were largely
improvised.
Karagoz is one of the two main actors in Karagoz and
Hacivat. In this comedic performance, the two characters are foils of each
other. Karagoz is an uneducated
plebian while Hacivat has superior education with his “native wit.” Today, the
genre has been popularized on television.
