Just Kidding: The Forest of the Witch

Ayhan Hulagu’s acquaintance with traditional arts started in his high school years. He developed an interest in shadow puppetry and started performing professionally soon after completing a course in shadow plays offered jointly by the Turkish Ministry of arts and culture and International Puppetry Association (UNIMA) in Istanbul, in 2011. He staged a number of shadow plays in various parts of Turkey before bringing his artistic experience to the U.S. where he has staged many plays across America.
