520 |a Theatrical manifestations like puppet plays, Shadow plays and the Qarakoz, with the exception of the art of story-telling, were probably brought to the Arab world from the Far East. While story- telling was probably the primal theatrical form in that part of the world, shadow theatre and the qarakoz were a developed popular theatrical stage. The only difference between the qarakoz and the shadow theatre is that the former depends on presenting the puppets live on stage, while the latter displays the shadow of puppets on a lighted white screen. The puppet art and the shadow play performers spread throughout the Arab world, especially in Egypt, Lebanon and Syria. The performances traditionally took place in plazas, public gardens and public cafes. This paper attempts to explore the history of this art and the role it played in spreading such an entertainment in the public life of the concerned societies, as well as portraying its importance as a tool for social and political criticism.
