This puppet play satirizes national narratives through Kasperle theatre and Karagöz shadow-play conventions. Structured around three contracts; Faust and the devil, the artist and the state, and erotic power-play; it makes consent, refusal, and accountability visible as puppets defy authority and demand justice.
