You’ve heard of Magical Girls. You’ve heard of Knights. But have you heard of the Medieval Magical Girl? Drawing from their experience as Japanese/ Pākehā, Jessica Miku blends the sparkle of magical girl anime with the lore of medieval chivalry to conjure a hybrid heroine of myth and glitter.
Weaving the arc of the Hero’s Journey together with ecological fantasy, they explore tenderness and belonging, creating lush worlds of quiet power and emotional resonance – a place where magic is ancient, and the future is forged from the past.
Presented in association with Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival 2026.
