Mochinosha performs shadow play at Edinburgh Fringe

Mochinosha, a two-person company consisting of Daniel Wishes and Seri Yanai, is presenting the live shadow play ‘Book of Shadows’ at the Edinburgh Fringe. The performance utilizes projection and hundreds of illustrated, articulated drawings to create a visual experience described as a living cartoon or anime.

The story follows a character named Vi, who struggles with the tension between her scientific upbringing and the presence of a tiny wizard frog that only she can see. The narrative involves Vi traveling to stay with her grandmother, a mystic, to confront questions regarding the nature of reality and magic.
