Beberuhi 3D Model

Karagoz and Hacivat are the lead characters of the traditional Turkish shadow play, popularized during the Ottoman period and then spread to most nation states that comprised the Ottoman Empire and most prominently in Turkey and Greece. (wikipedia) **Beberuhi (The Shorty) The other name of his is Altikulac (six-crawls). As a dwarf of the Karagoz plays, he is known as a childish, immature and somehow a dummy type. An elder performer aban says that there are two types of Beberuhi; the beardless one called Beberuhi (Bebe: Baby); the other one with the beard called Babaruhi (Baba: Father). He has an impediment in his speech and pronounces r, and s as y. He asks the same questions repeatedly until the people become tired of listening to him. He is presented sometimes with a hunchback. He arrogantly answers to Karagoz; when Karagoz becomes angry, he prefers to run. In a play called Aptal Bekci (The Stupid Watchman) Karagoz asks for help from the Beberuhi(s) to punish the drunkard; however, they escape despite that they have given promise to help. Karagoz always jokes about his height. In one of the plays called Pehlivanlik (Wrestler), his name was given as Kel Hasan (Bold Hasan) from Albania. He is depicted as the neighborhoods (half-) fool, the neighbors generally tolerate him. All textures are high-resolution.
