Karagiozis’ Christmas at the North Pole

A brand-new original Christmas production for the whole family—a frozen shadow-theatre adventure with live music, songs, humor, and twists.

A few days before Christmas, something strange happens. Children’s letters are being returned without ever reaching their recipients, the elves have vanished, and Santa’s workshop has ground to a halt.

Behind the illuminated screen, Ilias Karellas gives voice to every character, leading Karagiozis and his companions all the way to the North Pole. There, they discover that the dark—and deeply aggrieved—Lord of the Frozen has imprisoned Santa Claus inside his own toy workshop and turned it into a frozen-goods factory.

The reason? A grudge he’s held since childhood: Santa never brought him the gift he was waiting for. So, since he himself never got to enjoy Christmas, he’s decided no one else will either!

Beloved Christmas melodies and songs cross over from one world to the other, transformed through live music. Rock and rebetiko, opera and laïko song, fresh and frozen, shadows and live music combine in a grand Christmas shadow-theatre adventure that, in the end, may not be just about saving Santa Claus, but about how a frozen world can be warmed up again.

AEGEAN and Miles+Bonus, in collaboration with the Athens Concert Hall, give you the opportunity to live a unique experience!
