Just last week we attended the first-ever Star Wars kabuki play, in which famed actor Ichikawa Ebizo portrayed the internal strife of fallen Force-user Kylo Ren.
But there’s now a new stage theatrical take on a beloved film coming to Tokyo, with the kabuki adaptation of anime director Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
Startling well, as this video of one of the play’s final rehearsals shows.
Unlike the Star Wars play, the kabuki Nausicaä will have repeat performances, running from December 6 to 25 at the Shinbashi Enbujo playhouse in Tokyo’s Ginza neighborhood.
