Fighting Projected Shadows Is Nothing Less Than Heart Stopping

I am not really sure how to categorize this video, as it is pretty multidisciplinary, touching no projection, dance and animation. But since we are dealing with projection this month, I wanted to share it.

In this epic battle, Taichi Saotome fights a carefully animated and projected shadow (of his own)

There is very little information about this show in the webs:

The piece is called “Dragon and Peony, Sword”. Here isthe description of the show: “Mr. Saotome battles against his own shadowgraph with making full use of projection effects. The stage with transforming and lashing out shadow consists of precise video production and Mr.Saotome’s talent.“
