How fast is darkness?

As fast as light? Faster? Imagine a shadow puppet. Darkness has a speed that is directly related to how fast you wiggle your fingers. Imagine a bigger shadow puppet using a screen that's a bit bigger, like the moon and some sort of giant laser projector that would probably melt my hands, but continue with the thought experiment anyway. I'll wear gloves for this shadow puppet session.

If I flicked my fingers would it be possible to make a wave of darkness travel faster than the speed of light?


I think it goes without saying the any suggestion to invade Canada is mind-numbingly stupid.
