Sword Dance & Shodowgraph

Thanks to Jan Sempai for locating this most unusual theatre production; originally located by Aviv Sensei of Fredericksburg.

"The most awesome thing you will see today is the following video shown below. Believe me. The picture above does not do the video any justice.

Called, “Sword Dance and Shadowgraph,” this live interactive and computer generated imagery performance was recently filmed in Tokyo Japan, at the The Galaxy Theater in January and was performed by Taichi Saotome.

It involves a live actor on stage armed with a Katana who is defending himself many animated shadow adversaries on the screen located behind him. The result of the fight choreography matched with the CGI presentation on the projected screen is something pretty spectacular and definitely a cool treat for the eyes to witness.?
