Shadow Necropolis
A spooky fantasy adventure. A young girl named Minerva is a hero in her dreams
but feels helpless in real life. When her friend is taken by Oizys, the
Goddess of Anxiety, Minerva must travel through a skeleton-ridden city to
rescue her. A touching tale for any child or adult who has ever struggled
with the constant worry that they're not good enough. Featuring
award-winning cinematic shadow puppetry from Japan. Hundreds of puppets
are projected on a large screen to create a live animated movie. From the
creators of Space Hippo and Shadow Kingdom. ***** (Now Magazine).

I have seen this company for the past three years and they always bring something really magical. Loved that it was a sequel to last years show but also worked stand alone. Incredible shadow puppetry and brilliant voices acting!
