REVIEWS
- Laura DanilyantsI visited the play "Notes of the invisible Wanderer". The guys showed that the shadows are very emotional and lively! The atmosphere of the performance changes within a few seconds, you change your location on the Globe while sitting on an armchair. Thank you for the aesthetic pleasure, as if I had been on vacation❤
- Sergey KostrykinIt is really very interesting that everything is thought up, organized and executed. The very idea of the play "Three Parrots" is also original and exciting. We have already gone to several performances and always under pleasant impressions. Of course, we will wait for more new performances. Thanks!
- Anastasia PashkovaWe were with a young man at the play "Once upon a time there was a wizard", we have long wanted to get acquainted with the shadow theater and are very glad that we chose your team. The guys are great fellows, professionals, especially pleased with the final. We are grateful to you for a pleasant time, we will definitely visit again!
- Janina KomburleyWe watched the play "Notes of an invisible Wanderer", we really liked it, in some places we just "brainstormed", recognizing sights and countries in the shadows, it was very interesting and informative. We wish you creative success and look forward to new productions from you.
- Valeria GrankinaToday we attended the performance "Time of Miracles". We were with two children, 5.5 years old and 2 years old. I was afraid that the younger one would be scared or would not understand the action. But! They sat through the whole story with their eyes wide open. The younger one even went backstage and participated. Thank you so much for the wonderful performance.
- RenateThe shadow theater "Moonlight" performed on our project "Samurai. 47 ronins." It was a mysterious sight. How can you create such images with the bodies of actors?)) The guys mounted the equipment very quickly and were fully prepared in terms of technical equipment.
