We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a video of Ukrainian dance group Verba Shadow Show acting out the story of Game of Thrones in silhouette. That is all. Watch below.
Okay, that’s not ALL. Verba has been at this a while, and clearly they know their craft. I’m particularly impressed with the dancers who contorted themselves in the shape of a weirwood tree, and the ones who mashed themselves together to form a dragon. The howling wolf was pretty cool, too.
They fit a bunch of stuff in there, from an Arya moment to a few battles — both between armies of the living and against the army of the dead — to Daenerys on her dragon burning people to a crisp. Obviously the fire effects weren’t people in silhouette…right?
This performance was posted a year ago, so it doesn’t contain any scenes from season 8. It’s still very cool, though, and perhaps the troupe would consider choreographing an updated version sometime down the line. Since this performance, the group has achieved its dream of appearing on America’s Got Talent, but that performance had nothing to do with dragons or zombies, so I don’t know why it’s worth talking about.
But seriously, good show.
