A young girl named Minerva is a hero in her dreams but feels helpless in the real world. When Oizys, the Goddess of Anxiety, takes her friend, Minerva must travel through a city full of skeletons to rescue her. It is 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 to create a live animated movie on a large screen.
Mochinosha's shadow puppet shows are unique. They incorporate video and animation techniques, manipulating shadow puppets in front of the audience – making it a mysterious production. There is a mix of adopting the primitive performing art of shadow puppetry and modern techniques such as film and animation. All the shadow puppets that appear are made by hand, with approximately 200 to 300 of them in each production.
