Shadow Necropolis

Mochinosha Puppet Company—The Rachel Browne Theatre

Shadow puppetry magic that is a show the whole family can see that takes on the effects and handling of anxiety in such a beautiful and comforting but also relatable funny way.

This is an amazing company that I don’t understand the physics of how they keep out doing themselves so well year after year.

A sequel to Shadow Kingdom so a certain DJ does reappear.

Thank you for your art.

Shadow Necropolis

Mochinosha Puppet Company—The Rachel Browne Theatre

The stories and worlds that Seri and Daniel of Mochinosha Puppet Company create are always amazing with beautiful shadow puppets and projected scenery. Shadow Necropolis builds off the characters from their 2022 show Shadow Kingdom, but you do not have to have seen that to follow along. Their trademark humour is still there, with some cultural and meme references thrown in.

The story is what really grabs you, as it both literally and metaphorically deals with battling anxiety. It is handled so well you can almost miss that you are learning about different kinds of anxiety and how to cope with it.

What could be a heavy topic becomes an adventure story with challenges and conquests and plenty of laughs and suitable for a general audience. Very well done.

For those who saw Shadow Kingdom, don’t worry, DJ Slug makes a few appearances as well.
