‘Princess Mononoke’ Stage Play Emphasizes Ecology Through Puppetry [Pics]

In association with Studio Ghibli, England’s Whole Hog Theatre premiered its stage adaptation of Hiyao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke earlier last month, and every show played to a sell-out crowd.

Whole Hog recently brought the show to Japan, appropriately enough.

To emphasize the ecological theme of the story, all the puppets were made from recycled materials.
