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!
